February 10, 2024,Frühlingsrunde im Winter an der Mulde: Westewitz-Scheergrund-Klosterbuch-Westewitz

It's February 10th - a winter day - and it feels like spring. Crazy! Today we did a lap that had been on the agenda for a long time. The start was in Westewitz in the parking lot next to the Muldentalklause. It went along the railway on a very beautiful forest path - lined with oaks, beeches and pine …

February 3, 2024,Wanderung durch das Muldental über Klosterbuch, Maylust und Westewitz

A small but nice hike took us through the Muldental today. The start was the parking lot at the monastery in Klosterbuch. We crossed the Mulde and hiked through the very beautiful Maylust. From there you have wonderful views of the Muldenschleife and the monastery. Our path offered a number of chicanes due to fallen trees that had to be …

July 15, 2024,Die Freiberger Mulde bei Kloster Buch, Westewitz und Töpeln

The Freiberger Mulde is also a great hiking area! From previous hikes we already knew the area as far as Klosterbuch! There was no connection to Döbeln, which we were going to create today.

We park on the outskirts of Töpeln, a small village in the catchment area of Döbeln. A dirt road leads us up the Spitzstein (232m). On …

April 22, 2023,"Maylust" an der FG-Mulde 😊 Klosterbuch / Westewitz

Freiberger Mulde today 🤗 in the finest weather 🌞
The piece between Westewitz and Klosterbuch is just wonderfully quiet 😊 so we were able to really enjoy the day today.

We passed the monastery itself relatively quickly 🙄

End of year round🥾 with @Hella Berrymaus and delicious breakfast 😋 ...thank you 🥂🧀☕️🥰. Unfortunately, the hiking trail in Staupenbachtal is no longer maintained, some of the "bridges" over the stream have fallen into disrepair, making the path an adventure.

December 31, 2023,Jahresabschluss Tour Maylust Staupenbachtal

End of the year 🥾 Tour with @Anna Bolika. It was beautiful and adventurous again. We walked on solid paths to Maylust, where we enjoyed a delicious breakfast. The way back took us through the Staupenbachtal, where we balanced ourselves over hill, stone and water. As circular hiking trail number 4, it was no longer maintained for many years.
