The first round after the 7 lakes hike. I have to admit, you get used to the refreshment points very quickly.
A nice round with some ups and downs. Almost no asphalt except for the first and last kilometer. The knees were happy

Today I was able to “start” my Komoot year 2024. From the parking lot in Penig we headed towards America, Rochusburg and then Lunzenau. The way there was much more demanding. Always up and down. The route then goes back almost entirely along the hollow.
Oh, if a little late. Happy New Year to everyone

Today we headed in a completely different direction, to get to know other parts of our homeland. We started at the hiking car park at Rochsburg, where you can park for a hefty €6 daily fee. That's quite a lot for a parking space near the A.d.W., I thought, but hey, I saw it as an investment in the regional …

To be honest, I was a little disappointed in America, but the high-altitude trail there and the shore trail back were worth it.
And the Rochsburg is also an eye-catcher; from afar and from near.

A really nice round through the golden autumn. You should have sturdy shoes and not be afraid of heights, as the path is a bit narrow in parts. We didn't get around the Rochsburg because part of the path was impassable. But otherwise you can highly recommend the route and the nature between the rocks and the Zwickauer Mulde to …

A beautiful tour with lots of variety and a nice snack (for those who like to treat themselves to something in between) at the bridge near Rochsburg

Since the weather forecast promised another great summer day🌞🌞🌞we went to the Zwickauer Mulde today on a tour that we already did in December 2022. My wife is fit again and @De Steffels (Steffi und Sebbel) also have time today and didn't know the area yet. The hike is mostly shady and you keep coming back to the water, which …
