Schulerloch observation tower

Hi,

We have a beautiful warm spring and it would be a shame not to take advantage of these beautiful days, for example, for a cycling trip. It will be my second cycling trip this year and today I will go with you to see the places where I like to cycle and where I like to relax. We will cycle through the forest, as usual. I'm taking a vacation from work and we can go.

After about five minutes on the bike, I get outside the city. I am glad that I live here and that the forest is so close to me. I walk along the forest road and the first and biggest climb is in front of the house. After all, why not make the worst of it right from the start.

Even before entering the forest, we stop at a large meadow. From here there is a nice view of the town of Spišská Nová Ves and the High Tatras.

I continue further up. I disturbed several ravens along the way. They were sitting in the meadow. I looked to see if there was any carcass, but there was nothing. It's just a pity that I didn't have time to take a picture of them.

Another cyclist catches up to me and overtakes me before the end of the climb. However, he does not go to the viewpoint. I walk a few more meters and stand in front of the viewpoint. It was built about two years ago, but I have to admit that I am here for the first time. The lookout structure originally served as a transmitter. They wanted to demolish it, but in the end they changed their minds and moved the structure to this nice place.

I made it all the way up the stairs and I'm really looking forward to the views in front of me. I hope you like these views too.

From the viewpoint we can see the town of Spišská Nová Ves and directly behind it is the town of Levoča.

There is also a beautiful view of the High Tatras. They are still covered in snow at this time of year, while the local forest has already turned green.

From this side of the lookout, you can look at the forest that I will be wandering through today. I will roam in it all the time. The harmony of the forest is disturbed by the quarry of Gretl. But they also have to be somewhere.

I also really like the description boards. It's good that I can see what I'm actually looking at. Well, nothing, that's enough views, I'm going to do sports.

I cycle in the forest all the time, as I mentioned before, and I stop by from time to time. If he's interested in something, I'll take a picture of it.

I had to take a picture of this nice meadow with a feeder. So far I have climbed and followed the ridge. Now I have a rather steep descent down. I ride my bike on hills, and here it goes like in life. You are up once and then down again.

Along the way I spotted this yellow butterfly. It flew from flower to flower and I secretly hoped I could get close enough to zoom in on my camera lens. Managed to.

After the descent comes another ascent. This time I will go around the stream the whole time and, as usual, I have a few breaks here as well. The first thing that caught my attention were these red mushrooms. At least I think they are mushrooms. I still have to study it.

Well, since I'm by the stream, I'll also take a picture of the swamp. Some cultures consider fennel to be a medicinal plant. It has detoxifying effects and has been used to treat the kidneys, but also bronchitis, or skin rashes and eczema.

Today I decided to have lunch in the forest. So, in addition to my camera and water, I also packed buns and cheese in my backpack. I love to eat in the forest. After exertion and mental relaxation, and on top of that, I feel better in the fresh air. I found a clearing and here I rest a bit and eat in peace.

Now he only has to go home. Today was a very good day for me. Despite the physical effort, I feel great and rested. I'm already looking forward to the next cycling trip.

Thank you
