Today I took advantage of the weather and went on a lovely hike! It had everything: a long steep climb, a straight stretch, downhill and uphill again!

Nice hike after working from home in the wonderfully green Elm 🌳🌞. If I already had my Elm stamp book, the Eilumer Horn at 323.3 meters above sea level would have been my first entry. But that's fine 👍. I'll come back again.

Best wishes from Elm 🙋‍♂️.
