The path leads through the Leichlingen sensory forest, no dogs allowed! Bypassing only takes a huge detour.

It is the sunrise that awakens the world with its breath of stillness and delicate blue. We are just as much a part of nature as the trees and the birds. Being there as God created us is so refreshing. I can only advise it to everyone. 😊
