...a family picture...
...we left Strasswalchen behind and continued to the next lake: Wallersee. Today we ran from lake to lake...
...some kids joined in spontaneously...
...arriving in Huttich...
Huttich hosts a lovely little school, the "Weinbergschule"!
This private school, based on the Montessori teachings, educates children not only in theory, but the kids also learn many practical things by "doing" in a holistic way.
The students are engaged in various social- handycraft - and farming projects. A great place to study!
...we lit a candle for peace...
...and we were treated for a gorgeous lunch, all self-made! The bread was also baked by the kids...
...the children showed us their school: here are the "little" ones: piglets and cats...
...a home-made pond...
Our today's highlight: together we ran once around the "Wallersee"!
The loop around the lake is 19km long. All the kids managed bravely!
...barefoot vs. barefoot light...
...the last metres...
Thank you for the incredible hospitality! We absolutely enjoyed your friendship!
