After we had explored the nature preserve along the river Rhine in Brühl a few months back without Mia we took here there on a nice spring day.
We parked our car at the outskirts of Brühl where a friend of Ji lives - that's how we know the area - and then started the 1 km walk towards the Rhine passing some lakes that were created when the riverbed was straightened 200 years ago and the old riverbed was closed in parts against the new one.
Mia had bought her scooter to avoid strenuous hikning
When we reached the river we took a break and watched some of the passing barges
Mia watched some swans
Some birds at a bird feeder
Along the Leimenbach - a small creek
Feeding a swan
A stork looking for dinner
Watering some fields
The walk back alog the Leimenbach was a major detour but very nice and worth the extra time
