September 10, 2023,Elbersdorfer Mühle – Wesenitztalweg – Schlossgarten Dittersbach – Lieblingstal – Schöne Höhe - Zwergenhöhle

A nice path for a hot summer day, because it is wonderfully cool, especially in the wild and romantic Wesenitz valley, and the path also led a lot of the way through forests and parks in the shade. I also recommend our running direction, because the steep climb over a lot of steps on the Peschelweg from the Wesenitz up …

After a wonderful week of skiing in Ski Amade and with fantastic weather, today it was time to shake out our legs again on a local hike. Ok, we were a long way from perfect weather today and true to the motto “A warm ass doesn't protect against illness”, we went out into the surrounding area in light, continuous rain. …

Nice walk. It's easy to take a break at the well-kept pond, especially when there's a thunderstorm, you stay dry, but according to the signs, it's under video surveillance.

To get you in the mood for your holiday, despite the sweltering heat, we took a nice little walk from Dittersbach through the Wesenitztal with Teufelskanzel, Peschelsteig, Schöne Höhe, 3-Kastanien-See and Lieblingstal.
The Schöne Höhe inn is temporarily closed.

The image assignment is terrible again. I'll spruce it up when I'm on holiday.

Since the last 3 days had a few steps/stairs, up and down, as well as too much challenging terrain, today we went for a relaxed round near Dittersbach. The start was the hiking car park just next to Diska.
The tour was a premiere and we were totally thrilled by all the great highlights and motifs 🤗 The photographic highlight …

So far we have connected this place with a well-known meat and sausage manufacturer, but today we have visited the scenic and cultural highlights. Despite the grubby weather, the parking lot for hikers at the entrance to Lieblingstal was already well filled. However, we first turned to the park behind the Dittersbacher Schloss. There were a few statues to be …
