ALONG THE DIEMEL RIVER

there are two cycle-roads and footpaths on either side. One next to the highway, the other next to the forest.
I cycle the short way to Helmarshausen next to the highway. I kind of dread the other side going alone. This is a bit phobic, but I rather enjoy the trip next to the cars, than feel a bit uneasy on a lonely path in wintertime, in the morning. And it appears a good choice, because the views I do find inspiring.
At this moment I just see the three swans circle above the town and come down gracefully in the Weser. Will they stay together in spring and will the parents have new off-spring?
