Summervacation Part 3

No visit in Schobüll is complete without a walk in Schobüll forest. It is on Schobüll mountain which measures impressive 33m over sea level. Your mountains are higher? I'm not impressed.

After the strong storms of 2013  and 2014 there is lot of free space for flowers and young trees.

The rowan berries are almost ripe. You can make delicious jam from them, but you shouldn't eat them raw. If you're not a bird, of course.

The wren is one of our smallest birds but he is the loudest for sure. The dead tree's roots were the perfect place to tell the world that this is his part of the world.

Punky found mysterious signs and decided to follow them.

She thought she could climb at least as good as Tarzan.

Nope.
Weather got worse. We had a fabulous thunderstorm.

Inkeri was afraid of all the loud rolling thunder but Sirpa was fascinated. She sat by the window all day long hoping for more lightning.

Small animals are sooo cute and calves are no exception to that rule. The cow with the heart on her brow was the last one to get her calv.

We went also to Nordstrand. Nordstrand is part of the old island Strand which break in several parts in the floods of the 14th to 17th century. Nowadays it is more a peninsula as a dam has been build.

Inkeri loved watching the sheep. But they were by no means as tame as "ours".

Next stop was Strucklahnungshörn, where the ships depart for Pellworm. Pellworm is also a part of Strand but still an island.

Here it started to rain but Inkeri wanted her picture taken with the boats. The white one is "Eiswette", one of the sea rescue boats of the DGzRS, the german SAR-organisation.

It was raining hard when we came back. Very hard. Poor cows.
