This view is fantastic: Far into the Eastern Ore Mountains (you can see the Luchberg and also the Geising) or you can see the Landberg in the Tharandter Forest. A weatherproof orientation table helps with geographical classification.

We continued on the Freital circular hiking trails, today it was No. 6's turn, also known as the Weißiger Klitscherweg.
The Klitscherweg owes its name to a sweet dish similar to Quarkkeulchen, baked in linseed oil, which was brought from Johanngeorgenstadt in 1821 by the miners who came to Weißig.

Very interesting hiking trail created by the Weißig 2011 e.V. association. freital.de/Kultur-Tourismus/Freizeit-Bewendung/Wandern/Wanderempfänger-Freitaler-Rundwege/Tour-6. Today the tour was very slippery in the truest sense of the word. Nevertheless a nice tour. At the starting point there is an information board including a flyer with all the important information. There are a lot of great vantage points on the route, although the weather …

October 17, 2022,Klitscher-Weg, Freital-Weißig rundrum

This beautiful autumn day simply called for fresh air. Since we worked up a sweat yesterday in America (at the Mulde) and today's decision was very spontaneous, that means after breakfast, shaving, checking the news and chilling a bit, the journey and tour shouldn't be too long.
