Because it was so beautiful in the Rabensteiner Forest yesterday, today we went on the next tour to the Baumgarten Round through the Rabensteiner Forest.

January 6, 2024,Oberförster-Baumgarten-Rundweg 🥾🌥🍻

Today was the first round of the year and it took us on the Oberförster-Baumgarten circular route into the Rabenstein Forest between Rabenstein, Pleißa and Grüna. Nice tour past some of the airship pioneer's places of work. By the way, Baumgarten got his airship flying long before Zeppelin, but he never became famous for it.
