After the 🚴🏼‍♂️Tour at noon, we went on a hike again in Selva Switzerland on the way home. Very nice, thank you Thomas, your tour yesterday made me do it. At the market in Selva there was a small reward and refreshment on the way back.

In total it was 13.6 km and 390 hm up and down. And again after the break, Komoot is on strike. I'm considering switching now.
