November 11, 2022,Ein Stück der Saale-Horizontale entlang

In the best weather, walked a part of the Saale-Horizontale today. My expectations were totally exceeded, fantastic paths and amazing views, the sun did the rest. The perfect way to unwind and relax.

January 8, 2025,Saale Horizontale

The largest …

Unfortunately, my cell phone battery died today. I hadn't even reached the Fuchsturm yet and it only had 7% left. The power bank couldn't charge the cell phone and record with Komoot at the same time. What a pity. But the stage is worth recommending, even if it started in the fog.

November 18, 2024,Jena-Mittlere Kernberghorizontale – "Tour de Bank"

This tour took us from the upper KernbergHorizontale down to the SaaleHorizontale.
What remains are both beautiful landscape impressions with driving wind and sunshine, in the middle of November... as well as the recurring motif of the bench at the side of the path, like..."Eugen's red wine bench", "a safe bench"... over 15 km it feels like 15 benches, from …
