March 8, 2025,Weida rund um die Osterburg

Women's Day 08.03.2025 and 30 hiking friends and guests of the Plauen Nature Friends are drawn to nature.

We took the train and changed trains once to Weida Mitte.

A short stretch through the city and we were standing below the imposing Osterburg.

Uphill, the path led us into nature on a hiking trail through a mixed forest.

On beautiful forest paths, however, we then continued, among other things, through the Finstertal to the Auma dam. It was built in 1936 …

There are plenty of places to sit and rest on it.
Shortly before reaching the dam there is a rest area with the only wide view on the entire route.
The heap of Ronneburg can be seen on the horizon.
If visibility is good, …
