Quick! Catch some rays before they disappear. After several days of clouds and raindrops, rushing out to enjoy a walk in the forest sounds like a really great idea. Let's head over for a walk in the Raakmoor - just a block from Peter's home. Also, it's an ideal homesick cure for missing the woods of Walleye World.
Hand-hewn benches wait for those wanting to rest and listen to nature.
The Naturschutzgebiet Raakmoor or Raakmoor Nature Reserve.
The Raakmoor is the remainder of a raised bog or moor. It was created from the headwaters of the river Alster's tributaries occurring after the last Ice Age. This is the smallest nature reserve in Hamburg with only 18 hectares. So whatever is a hectare? I "now" have learned that one hectare is equal to 2.4711 acres. The circular hiking route is about 6K. We are saving that trail for a day with guaranteed sunshine.
As for sunshine, I must say currently there is even a lack of much daylight. It is now 4:25 PM, and the sun has set. Smart GAB is following the sunshine to Porto on Monday. Her sunshine allowance should be more generous than that of Hamburg.
Friday the 13th...
BTW: Black cats crossing your path are good luck in Germany.
