August 24, 2025,Einfache Runde mit Einkehrschwung auf der Schwanner Warte in der Pizzeria Bambi

As the saying goes, the kitchen will stay cold today. 😊
We took a detour to the Schwanner Warte. We stopped for a bite at Pizzeria Bambi. The food was good. Good value for money.
We worked off the calories on the way home. 🤣
