Patrol Path at Königstein Fortress

Highlight • Viewpoint

The patrol path goes around the fortress once outside. It is a little lower than the fortress, but it also offers great views of the Elbe and the surrounding beautiful landscape.

Today we took part in the 20th(!) Königstein Fortress Run with @Holzi, for the first time for both of us. It's always exciting to run a race like this for the first time, especially when it's not a run-of-the-mill race and in front of such a wonderful backdrop!

The 8km and 360m elevation gain had to be completed first. @Holzi was at the front today. @Karlfred, @Knut, @Bernd Mizera (just a quick glimpse from a distance), Victor, and many other running enthusiasts were there. A great, well-rounded event. It was a …

June 23, 2023,🇩🇪 Festungslauf Königstein 2023 – nass wie ein Pudel 🏰

I did a thing! 💪🏻

After a lot of doubts about my training status, my broken wrist and the question again and again whether I really want to do this to myself, the answer was crystal clear in the end: Absolutely! Get out of the comfort zone, there is no backing down. And if I'm the last to cross the …
