Vacation, autumn 🍁 and rain 🌧️ we thought to get out of the "comfort zone" and into the rainy day to Schönheide to the pre-lock of the Eibenstock dam. Despite the prolonged rain shower, a beautiful landscape. The colors of the leaves and absolute silence and listening to the rain was once again balm for the soul. We'll be back, …

Nice little loop, but unfortunately a section of the water trail is extremely overgrown, so that the path is barely recognizable.

From the hiking car park by the monument we headed towards the Schönheider Hammer fore-dam and then to Schönheide Ost. The first park bench there offered a view towards industry and, if you wanted, nearby gardens. A little further downhill there was …

I love the late summer sun🌄. Round was actually planned differently 🤷‍♀️but it would have led back along the main road ... Then rather walk back the same way to breathe the clean forest air🌲🌳🍁
