After a long time and a lot of illness, I once again dared to go on a longer tour and am happy that I managed it. The track is anything but good (eg I didn't go swimming...), but what can you do. I had fun, that's what counts 😃

Today we wanted to see what the Lichtenberg Dam was like. So we went out after lunch and walked around the dam.

That was a good idea now that we've both slowly recovered from our colds 🤧🤕 🙏
The storm from Wednesday to Thursday also did a lot of damage here.

So the hiking involved climbing 😊

Nice loop around the Lichtenberg dam. However, the path is relatively unexciting and at the end of the dam you have to cross a bridge on the S208 with no footpath. That's not ideal👀 . But to get some fresh air and enjoy the forest, the loop is worth it.

March 30, 2024,🐣🐇TS Lichtenberg - einmal rundherum🐸

Cozy Easter round🪻🐇 in warm but initially hazy weather around the Lichtenberg dam. There was asphalt under the soles at the beginning, slabs at the end and forest floor in between😉. The frogs 🐸 seemed to feel really comfortable on the paved path, as many of them were jumping around here (to the delight of the young people) - alone …

There is a hiking car park above the dam. Everything is well signposted and you avoid the road. The climb to the castle hill was worth it.

Today with my two "little men" a round around the dam Lichtenberg incl. the castle hill.
Despite the men's day, relatively few troops were on the move. All in all, a nice walk ending at the "Singing Innkeeper" 😉
