With good hiking weather, we went to the Buntsandsteinfelsen near Maua today. Of course, with the path over the Helenenstein and the Rabenessel and with various climbing inserts on narrow paths. And great that @bbhexe💙💛 has joined our group 👍

March 12, 2022,Rabenschüssel – Helenenstein Runde von Rothenstein (Saale)

At the beginning it was almost 2 km only paved road. With a dog 🐕 not so great because there are also many bicycles on the road. Then came the forest path with the rock 🪨. I felt like I was in Saxon Switzerland. Beautiful views all around. All in all it was OK. 👌
