With such glorious winter weather ❄️, and despite the cold 🥶, you simply have to get outside. The circular trail around the Sosa reservoir is perfect. The trail was popular today; we saw lots of day-trippers.

From the car park, there is a very pleasant, comfortable and easy-going circular path around the dam.
As it is a drinking water dam, the path runs relatively far away from the shore.

A long unnecessary excursion was finally made today. Aaaalso: Grandma, dog and family packed up and off to Sosa! Nice round trip around the dam with lots of nice little discoveries. Be it the old tunnel, the tree phone or the sweetly carved squirrel on the tree. In between it started raining, but the roster and the beer in the …

Today the daughter from Schneeberg was brought home from her internship. It was quickly discussed beforehand that we would do a hiking tour on site. Unfortunately, the weather on the way there didn't promise anything good; Rain and wind.
