September 18, 2021,Runde um den Markleeberger See 18.09.2021

Spontaneously walked around the Markleeberger See today, wasn't really planned that way. At the canoe park there was a huge sporting event - Family deluxe - we didn't go to that because of the crowds. Halfway through the trip it got really wet - but what does it matter if you are dressed appropriately - it was nice anyway 😊

May 21, 2025,Nordic Walking um den Markkleeberger See (2/3 der heutigen Tour)

Today I went Nordic walking again. Lake Markkleeberg is always beautiful, especially in spring and when the sun is shining. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture the birdsong and the wonderful scent of the blossoms with my cell phone camera. The flowers are blooming beautifully along the path, and the trees are now so dense that in some places you can't see …

September 3, 2025,Teambildende Maßnahme mit Intensivpflegekräften

The Dietrich & Siedel Intensive Care team was longing for sun 🌞 water, and fun. They played a few fun games, hiked nearly 10km, and finished off with delicious grilled sausages and chicken steaks from Franz, a butcher from Leipzig. The team persevered, and we laughed a lot.
