August 5^th

One last hike in the hills of the Fraenkische Schweiz. A lovely path by the river Wiesent, the same starting point as 2 months ago, at my 50. birthday. This time we walk in the opposite direction. The mood with my parents is heavy, maybe the upcoming good bye. It is good to be in nature, always a place where my mother and father can be, even if life is hard.

At the end of the tour, my father shows me a natural wonder, the “Riesenburg” (Castle for Giants), a cave that lost its cover some millions of years ago and is a real spectacular place to be. If I ever have a chance to be with you in this area, we will go there!
