Eibenstock! Why not. 😊
It's not exactly around the corner, but it's not a world trip to get there either. My husband found this tour here on Komoot and we had to hike it today. 🥰
We started from a free parking lot, which is actually behind a bike path, so we... first... drove past it. 😂 On the second …

August 9, 2025,Singlewandergruppentour bei Eibenstock 🚶🏼‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️

Today, the Singlwandern group invited everyone to a hike near Eibenstock, along the Toellschen Graben, and along the Gerstenbergweg with its mining trail.
Fifteen people accepted the invitation and set off together on a lovely summer hike, although the second half was a bit strenuous 🥵.
Nevertheless, it was another lovely, entertaining hike 🙋🏻‍♀️.
