Excursion weekend in the Black Forest in Hammereisenbach. The hike first took us up the mountain, mostly through the shady forest, then down to the Linacherstausee. Once a short foot bath to cool off then back to the dam wall past the Breg along to Hammereisenbach. A nice hiking tour despite the heat. Have a nice weekend everyone 🌞😀🚶🏻🥾😎
