I also wanted to check out the 🦩 in the Danube near Höchstädt today.
I discovered the tour by chance at Heike's 🦋. Thank you very much for the tour tip! 😃

I discovered this tour a few days ago at @Ilona 🎒🥾 and thought I absolutely had to get this 🦩 in front of the camera 😁
The mission was successful, and this little tour was otherwise beautiful. There were only a few people around, but there were lots of poultry of all kinds 🤩
The little detour around Höchstädt Castle …

We partly walked on the Duchess Anna circular route. Due to maintenance work on the Höchstädt hydroelectric power plant, the power plant bridge over the Danube will be closed on a daily basis between March and October.

Since it was not so grey and dreary today, we quickly went to Höchstädt in the afternoon to see the flamingo. The bird is fascinating. It's a shame that he can't answer what prompted it to settle here on the Danube.

Finally, I had time for a little walk, and I headed to the beautifully blooming banks of the Danube near Höchstädt. Today's highlights were the little coot chicks and the many swan flowers along the banks.
