On Thursday, shortly before the start of the Felsenglühen, I met Simone at the Altschloßfelsen. Before that, she had completed almost the entire Altschloßpfad premium hiking trail, including three extensions. After the rock glow we are together for the rest of your tour over the Hohle Felsen back to the parking lot.

Unfortunately, we left much too late and were under time pressure because we had tickets for Céilí Celtic Winter Nights in St. Mark's Church in the evening. 🎻🕯😅 So we were only able to catch the last rays of sunshine on the way, but with the frost and the clear, cold air it was still a wonderful tour. ☀️
