May 21, 2022,Rundweg Panoramaweg und Flößersteig
Today there should be a tour away from the tourist crowds. In addition, rocky and steep passages should be avoided because of yesterday's thunderstorm. For this reason we have chosen the round trip Flössersteig and Panoramaweg. However, anyone who - like us - thinks that the Flössersteig sells comfortably along the Kirnitzsch is thinking wrong. 😜The climb earned its name …

During the Love Parade in Berlin, the Berliners fled from Berlin. At Easter, the Bautzeners do it when they don't have visitors. The city is full of tourists because of the Easter celebrations, so today we went to Saxon Switzerland. A wonderful panorama, unfortunately it was a bit cloudy today to take pictures. The descent to the Lichtenhain waterfall is …

movement was necessary. Nothing needs to be said about the Dorfbachklamm. Very beautiful. BUT LOCKED. At the bottom, turn left onto the Flößersteig in the direction of the Lichtenhainer waterfall. The Flößersteig in this direction already has a few, I would say, deposits that require a little bit of fitness. The waterfall ....... . From there to the panorama trail …

The path actually led along part of the Malerweg through the Dorfbachklamm Gorge, but this section was unfortunately closed due to storm damage last summer. The detour also led to a beautiful path through the forest to the Ostrava mill. From there it went to Beuthenfall on the Flößersteig along the …

Today we went on a beautiful winter tour from Altendorf along the panoramic path via Mitteldorf to Lichtenhain. From there down into the Kirnitzschtal and then the Flößersteig back to the Ostrauer Mühle. Of course we go to the inn and then back up to Altendorf.

A great round for dogs too. However, there is one place where you have to carry the dog and at the same time going down a slope was dangerous.

The weather forecast predicted sun from noon and so it was time to pack your rucksack, put on hiking shoes and finally go back to your dream destination> Dorfbachklamm and Flößersteig.

After the clouds had largely cleared around noon, the sun accompanied me on my tour.
