August 20, 2024,Wandern 🥾🥾 auf Elsterperlenweg und Zehnmarkweg von Berga nach Wünschendorf und über Clodramühle zurück ☀️👍😉

Today after breakfast - we decided to put on our hiking boots 🥾🥾 and head for the Elsterperlenweg (we've had it on our list for a while 😉)
To put it briefly, a really very, very beautiful hiking trail - we can only recommend it 👍.
There is no shortage of places to stop for a break - the mill …

Great Easter outing with great weather.
The trails above the Elster River are always great.
Perfect signage and good restaurants.

March 22, 2025,Zehnmarkweg, Elsterperlenweg, Runde von Berga/Elster

Starting at the free parking lot, this is a great hike along the Zehn-Markweg (Ten Mark Trail)! You should be sure-footed and somewhat comfortable with heights. The old wooden bridge in Wünschendorf/Elster is definitely worth a look. The return route, via the Elsterperlenweg (Elster Pearl Trail), was unfortunately not as spectacular. Here you can see once again how damaged our …

May 18, 2025,Elsterperlenweg Etappe 3 - Clodramühle

The route began in Wünschendorf, at the Märchenwald parking lot. We first went through the village, but soon we entered the forest.

The weather was very changeable: We started in sunshine, but as we continued, drizzle and later heavy rain turned into the mix. We persevered until Clodramühle, where we took a break. By far the best pizza and the …

August 9, 2024,Elstertal bei Wünschendorf: Wo Märchenwald auf die Weiße Elster trifft🌲🤶🏻🧚🏻‍♀️🌊

Rail replacement service, so I take the bus into the forest. My tour begins in Wünschendorf. I'm most looking forward to the fairy tale forest. And I reach it after 30 minutes. Invented in 1927 by the Wünschendorf mill owner Herbert Schulze, an association now looks after the more than 20 fairy tales that are powered by a water wheel …

June 21, 2025,Elsterperlenweg 🌳 Berga ➡️ Wünschendorf ➡️ Berga

From the guesthouse, @Susann, @Steffi🌾🌳, @Andrea M. 🥾📷🌞, and I cross Berga before reaching the Elsterperlenweg again. We head into the forest and uphill, past the memorial and cemetery of the Schwalbe concentration camp subcamp.

Behind the Albersdorf dam, we descend via steps.

A beautiful, narrow, exposed path leads through the forest, always along the rock face. Dreamlike.

June 21, 2025,Elsterperlenweg, Tag 2 von Berga eine Runde

A long stage; you don't walk along the White Elster, but in wide arcs. These are the pearls of the Elster, and they are beautiful; mostly narrow paths; surefootedness is recommended. At midday, we drop three pearls for lunch at the Märchenwaldbaude (fairytale forest lodge). Fortified, we continue through Wünschendorf; the monastery courtyard is still closed, so there's no coffee. …
