July 21, 2022,Runde um den FARNSBERG Berghaus Rhön nach Würzburger Haus

Walked around the Farnsberg (786 m) after work today. I have to say I haven't walked like this before (around the bottom), a very nice forest path. What surprises me was not much going on at the Würzburg house?? . A super nice short round for in between.

A blaze of color and the different shapes and types of tree fungi. Just beautiful and then for two, a three 🐕. It doesn't get any better. 🤗🌈

Just went outside for a bit and was surprised by cool winter weather. And there was hardly anything going on.
