December 21, 2024,Runde von Brösen mit Leithenmühle Schanzenbachweg Gorschmitz und Röda

Hello, hello. Today we were out and about again, near Leisnig. Our tour started at a small parking lot above the Leithenmühle in Brösen. We then took the Schanzenbachweg over the Ziegenrücken over paved and side roads towards Gorschmitz and Röda back to the parking lot. It was a nice round despite the sometimes strong wind.
