Farnbach Sinkhole

Highlight • River

I just like this little place, a stream, when it's flowing, a little bridge, a bench. And yet somehow it's just beautiful.

November 21, 2022,🥶 Dreiherrnstein ❄❄ - Kissel ❄

👉🏻 At the start: 🌡2.8°C, Wind: 4 km/h E, Humidity: 87%
👉🏻 I had misjudged the terrain beforehand. On the Rennsteig trail (a good 5 cm+ of mud ❄), I didn't make much progress, especially on the inclines, but otherwise, the cycling was perfect 😁
even with sunshine and a view.
