My brother told me I should check out the new pool at Wetzlarbad in the Hill valley, due to open soon. Decided to make this my last run in Eupen. When I got there, I was surprised to find the construction site in pretty rough shape. Indeed, building and pool of the modern was complete, but landscaping and even grading was in very rough shape. I checked in with a couple of workers who were putting in pavers and they insisted that the works were on schedule for a July 1 opening. I will keep track of this remotely. While I understand the need for an update, I regret the demise of the old art deco building with which I had grown up. Since I was down here, I decided to continue towards Schwarze Brücke, which crosses the Hill a little farther upstream. From there, a gentle climb back towards the forest edge and city limits, to descent into the Weser valley. Finished with the steep climb towards the youth hostel and couldn't resist a quick lap on the ash track where I laid the groundwork to my fitness as a member of the LACE track club. Just a lovely way to start out the day.
