October 17, 2021,Wanderung an der Mulde

A sunny tour along the Mulde. It was mostly on good hiking trails and except for a small climb just before Grimma it was mostly flat. The car parked in the parking lot in front of the manor, where there was delicious coffee and ice cream at the end

A pleasant tour with friends. The tour of the Kössern hunting lodge was very educational and humorously narrated.

An uphill and a downhill of paths and emotions. An alternation between putting on and taking off the skates and hiking boots. 🥰

Beautiful circular hike with no uphill or downhill sections. We parked the 🚗 in Großbothen and hiked a short distance along the railway embankment to Kössern. We had to negotiate a section of busy road with no footpath. To avoid walking on the road again, we walked along a heavily overgrown path towards Förstgen, past the Vierhöfen farms, and the …

February 20, 2022,Muldental - Dem Wind und Regen trotzen

Not so comfortable weather - but we brave the rest of the storm and rain and enjoy the walk. And the cozy warmth in a wind-protected corner and the thermos full of tea. The storm damage is still fully visible. Sometimes you have to ask how much longer the forest can hold out

August 10, 2025,Weg der Steine - Höfgen - Kössern - Grimma

A surprisingly varied route from Höfgen. There's plenty of beautiful nature along the Mulde River, plenty of cultural attractions along the way (e.g., the Schaddelmühle), plenty of places to stop for a break, and so on...👍 A definite highlight is the Kössern Manor with its beautiful garden. The downside is that the cable ferry in Höfgen is currently out of …

June 21, 2022,Ab Bahnhof Großbothen nach Grimma und zurück

Thanks to my €9 ticket, I took the DB to Großbothen today. My hike from there went in the direction of Grimma. First past the Gasthof Kleinbothen and the Muldentalbad.
Continue on the bike/footpath along the Schaddelgraben, which is a small stream and a rather swampy area.
After the village of Schaddel, the hiking trail ran along the (united) Mulde …
