Dead trees block the way down, making it more challenging than without.

Today we went to Meura to the Meurasteinen and the Leibis-Lichte dam with fantastic ☀️ weather. An absolute dream tour 😍. That's why so many photos 🙈. The highlight of the tour was the Schneiderfelsen with a wonderful view of the dam. As a conclusion, I hiked to the viewpoint in Meura. From there you have a great panoramic view.

For x. A short hike from Meura to the Schneiderfelsen and Meurasteine, but always beautiful and worth seeing.

Meurasteine and the view from the Schneiderfelsen were the big highlights 🤩 But the babbling brook and many other views were worthwhile. 🤗 A recommended route.

I would skip the tour of Meura next time. 😁

Cozy New Year's round with my dear friend, we started from Meura. The first highlight was the Schneiderfelsen with a view of the dam ... Then it went idyllically along the Schlagbach and over the zigzag path to the Meurasteinen. Small relaxed morning tour!

Today's goal "borrowed" from @Torsten ;-)
The Meurasteine, actually the most beautiful to see from below, directly on the rocks, the locomotion and the view is not what I expected. The paths in the forest are often blocked by fallen trees. Hiking shoes recommended.

The path to the Schneiderfelsen runs very idyllically along the Schlage and ends in the Leibis-Lichte dam. The view from the refuge is absolutely recommendable and at this time of year the peace and solitude envelops you like a warm coat... a great feeling!
