Today I explored my rehab area. 11.2 km was another achievement for me. At some point, I'd like to be able to hike through the Alps again.

That was "real hiking" today. I had to go slowly down so as not to slip. For the first time after the stop there was no start-up pain. I had a really good physiotherapist today 🤗.

In the sunshine we walked across many meadow orchards, whose red apples shone from afar or were already picked in sacks.
The highlight, however, was watching the sports planes take off and land over a cup of coffee. In short, it was a nice quiet Sunday afternoon.
