May 6, 2023,Die Zschopau - zwischen der Alten Mühle Braunsdorf und der Fußgängerbrücke Webermühle

Finally outside again after a short but busy week. The next stage on the Zschopau - continuation of the tour from 01/14/23 komoot.de/tour/1011463750 had been planned for a long time.
A very nice, varied and actually comfortable round - if the forest workers hadn't left us an exciting scrambling section in the area of the Dilichblick/Tschirschsky Stein 😅

Today a relaxed little round. Start at the parking lot in Braunsdorf (EUR 4.00 daily fee - machine does not change!). Under the railway viaduct and over the bridge (this is currently being renovated, but pedestrians and cyclists can pass) and left the Zschopau to the Fünferbrücke. At the weekend there is the opportunity to have fish rolls or cake, …

We were last in this area in 2023 komoot.com/de-de/tour/1107903192 - today it was time again.
A wonderful, entertaining tour - even for our furry friend. Berli once again explored the Zschopau at every opportunity.
This was definitely not the last time here.

November 11, 2022,Rundwanderung Braunsdorf - Fünferbrücke

Start at the Braunsdorf hiking car park (daily fee EUR 4.00). The path runs flat along the Zschopau to the Fünferbrücke and on the other side back to the starting point. The reflections in the water make autumn appear even more colourful.
