June 5, 2022,Zauke-Kiefricht-Adamsberg-Kirnitzschtal

A tip from hikers and a memory of a class hike in 1980 brought me to this tour. Despite the heavy traffic in the direction of Bad Schandau and Saxon Switzerland, we set off in peace on Pentecost Sunday and were really lucky with parking at the Elbkai. Then we walked in the direction of the Zaukenhorn and further uphill …

August 4, 2024,Elbsandstein "When the rain comes"

My sweetheart chose the route. On the way down, about 4.5 km after the start, Komoot refused to follow me. It threw me off the route. Rightly so. The walk through the slippery gorge was exciting. Komoot didn't allow any further planning for this route. This didn't affect the mood. Is your favorite rain song included?

October 12, 2025,🥾 Sächsische Schweiz: Rund Kirnitzschtal 25-10-12

The short introductory tour led from the center of Bad Schandau past the artificially created Schomberg Castle ruins, located on the Schandau Schlossberg hill on the site of a former 13th-century castle, toward Altendorf. In better weather, the Saxon Panorama Trail would have offered a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain peaks, but today they were mostly hidden in the …

May 3, 2025,Rundwanderung Altendorf incl. Dorfbachklamm-sächsische Schweiz

There's a nice free parking lot at the starting point in Altendorf. Then you walk a short distance up the road (not down like we did!!!;.🤦‍♀️). Then, behind the "Heiterer Blick" restaurant, turn right onto the panoramic trail. We start with a small breakfast with a view of the Schrammsteine.

April 23, 2022,Kleine Runde in Bad Schandau🥾☀️🏞️ (Goldgründel, Dorfbachklamm/Steinbrecherstiege, Panoramaweg, Flößersteig)

A visit to the disabled in the rehabilitation clinic in Bad Schandau was used at the same time to make a small round. It was nice... Highlights were the Goldgrünl and the old, closed path (Steinbrecherstiege) in the Dorfbachklamm. However, it was not clear to me why the road was closed, as the path was easy to walk on.
On …
