Quick, before the server is down again!! 🙄

#FootpathFriday at an old, abandoned #bobsleigh track.

This is the upper section of the 2,450 metre long #Spießbergbahn in #Thuringia, Germany's only remaining natural ice track still in use. Inaugurated in 1910, it once hosted numerous national bobsleigh and #luge competitions. In fact, it's considered the birthplace of German bobsleighing!
Since 1983, only the lower 1,450 metres have been maintained for competitions and training, while the upper section you see here has fallen into disrepair.

The photo shows the first of the track's original 18 curves. The area is now popular with hikers, but we turned around here and didn't explore further as the family was waiting back at the hotel. 😅

Technically, we were just crossing it, but I do love a good winding road, so I hope it qualifies for #MotoringMonday

Some senior #pearShapedPuffball fungi for #FungiFriday 👵👴

Speaking of seeing better days – I just unfollowed and refollowed all my hashtags, and suddenly my timeline is buzzing again! 🤩 [insert Sound of Music gif] Thanks @tcgoetz for confirming this workaround might do the trick!

A lovely walk with the fam in the Thuringian Forest for #FootpathFriday 🌲🌲🌲

It was only like a 2-hr #walk. The kids had a blast, roaming the #forest, wielding branches, and jumping over streams. To quote my niece: "We're doing survival!" 🤭
