Heute geht‘s für mich ein Haus weiter, die Herzensdame geht hienicht🤪wieder nach Hause. So verbringt man den Tag mit wechselhaftem Wetter mit buchstäblich Luegä im passend benannten Lueg: ein Hügel mit Weitsicht bei gutem Wetter ins #Ämmitaau , in die #Bern|er #Alpen und den Jura. Die #Kavallerie liess es sich nicht nehmen, hier den Verstorbenen aus dem „Ordnungsdienst“ zu gedenken. Interessant die Herkunft der Soldaten aus dem ganzen Kanton.
