June 25, 2023,Zuckerhut -Götterfelsen – Aussichtspunkt Hohe Eifer Runde von Meißen

This tour had been on our agenda for a long time, fell twice into the water because of bad weather and today it finally worked. We experienced Meissen from a completely different side. Sometimes it went along narrow paths with a lot of broken trees. The last downpours transformed it forest into an insect paradise with tropical humidity.
Nothing, despite …

The starting point of our tour is a free parking lot at an allotment garden in Lercha. Right at the beginning you can enjoy nice views towards Albrechtsburg. Shortly after leaving Lercha, it goes into the forest. Here we have to climb over tree trunks or duck our heads a few times due to the many dead 🌳🌳. After a …

A pleasant, relaxed round on the heights of the Triebischtal, through Lercha, past beautiful distant views of Meissen and the castle, over the Zuckerhut, the Götterfelsen and Hoher Eifer. In Meissen we liked the art object "Small living room": a quasi open living room outside under a tree.

Actually a very nice tour. But things are quite adventurous in the forest between Meissen and the Sugarloaf Mountain. There are dozens of fallen trees blocking the way and it's almost impossible to get around, so you have to climb over. But only people who are physically fit can do this.

My son wanted a trip to Meißen

Due to the weather we didn't start until around midday.

So a visit to the old town is another time.

In winter and after a long rain I don't necessarily recommend this round, the path was partly very steep (on the part to the lake). We also had to overcome some fallen trees.

A great circular hike 👍
At 3.6 km no way could be seen, trees lay across and we fought our way across the forest. But we got back on the right track 😃
You have a great view from the rock of the gods, good to rest!
