May 10, 2025,Mittweida zum Konzentrationslager Sachsenburg an der Zschopau entlang

On the trail through the beautiful Zschopau Valley. Along an old ore railway line, past old tunnels – good luck!
We stopped at the Wasserschänke (water tavern) for a shandy and a Würzfleisch (spiced meat). Definitely recommended.
The hike is manageable without much effort.

December 13, 2025,Zschopautal von Sachsenburg nach Mittweida

Today's hike started in Sachsenburg from the parking lot by the Zschopau River. We followed the river to Mittweida and back. It was a very peaceful area with lots of wildlife; only the kingfisher refused to be photographed, and the beaver was still asleep.

Nice round with unfortunately partly bad paths. Broken wood and loose roadsides do not bode well for the future.

From there, cross the Rossau Bridge to the other side and from there take the Zschopau …

February 15, 2025,Probetour für "Women's day"-Tour am 8.3.25

Today I ran my planned route for "Women's Day".

I only met strong women: Elisabeth von Rochlitz, Elsa Brändström, St. Anne, wives of concentration camp prisoners,...

I had snow❄️ but also mud under my feet.

Sometimes the Zschopau rippled along quietly, sometimes it resembled raging streams. I followed its meanders as well as its straight lines.
