Hey, Franzi!

Nice of you to drop by! We're fishing in the pond at the moment.
As you know, we have a lot to do all year round. I'd better show you what life around the pond looks like first.

About the pond ecosystem

Two people ride their bicycles along a path between two bodies of water. The banks of the waters are full of plants, bushes and trees. The water is very clear.
