| Trip to Bütgenbach-Elsenborn. |
| The higher parts of the Ardennes had for a month a thick deposit of snow with a maximum height of 61 cm on March 13. I decided to go for a small walk with my family to the Bütgenbach-Elsenborn area where for the last day could be enjoyed from lots of snow. Temperature under an overcast sky was almost 5°C in the afternoon, but condition for skiing or to langlauf were still excellent. A salute of a remarkable long winter in the Ardennes. Photos taken in Central European Time (CET). |
