Because of the heat, we set off with the dogs first thing in the morning. By midday, the Schorgast Valley is already crowded with pedestrians, cyclists, etc.

Beautiful tour that you can always hike. Unfortunately, there is no blocking sign on the hiking trail in the Grundmühle. We walk to the forest fountain, nothing there either. A few meters further, we come to an agreement with the 2 forest workers. So we can pass the critical piece. PS.: There are many more slates🧐
