Today we're out and about hunting for stamps in the Altenburger Land.
From Posterstein we went along the Holzmichelweg over to Schloßig to the Tanami leisure pool. Then back again, looked past the 1000 year old oak tree in Nöbdenitz and finally at Posterstein Castle.
There were 5 Touringen stamps today.

With the best holiday weather, the next Touringen round started. The starting point was Posterstein Castle, followed the Holzmichelpfad, then through small villages, along the railway tracks to the Tatami Bath!
