View of the Wolletzsee from the picnic area

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are no big mountains here, but from this hill you still have a wide view over the landscape and Lake Wolletz. And the climb is actually pretty steep, so you can work up a sweat even in November. :)

October 29, 2023,Wolletzsee und Grumsin, Rundtour ab Luisenhof

Every year on the last weekend in October there is a tour with Wolletzsee and Grumsin, including a stop at the Luisenhof Café. The trees are still unusually green.

The highlight of the day was definitely the herd of fallow deer between Zuchenberg and Louisenhof. Apart from that, of course, the whole loop is a highlight in itself.

At the end of the tour, I noticed that the name of the geological nature trail between Wolletzsee and Gehegemühle was puzzling. Something about it rang a bell when I thought …

The last time I was here, I was still strolling across the frozen Wolletzsee. The first picture this time was a goldcrest. The rest of the day was rather spring-like, almost summery..

I hadn't expected so many butterflies. What a day!

I could have lived with a few fewer people at Grumsin. However, given the date, I guess I had to expect a certain number of people.

We started in Altkünkendorf towards Buchenwald. At the NABU information point there is a fold-out map with the various hiking trails, unless it is closed (Monday and Tuesday). The path leads along the edge of the core zone. Today was an obstacle course. It seemed like every 20 m there was a tree lying across the path that had to …
