January 19, 2025,👣Poppenberg 🥾🎒und Ilfelder Wetterfahne🌞(HWN 92, 95)

We had a really beautiful day today👍. No wind, the sun was shining🌞 and the fog really fit in with the picture☝️.
If there was a choice for the most beautiful stamping point on the HWN today, I would choose the Ilfeld weather vane. The view was amazing😎🤗.
