Once again walked the circular path and at the same time let the dove of peace of the Strickliesel from Kamenz look out over the country from the Keulenberg tower.

November 4, 2023,Barockschloss Oberlichtenau und Liedersteine Runde zum Keulenberg

Surrounded by two cavalier houses, Count Brühl's country house is reflected in the once representative water area of the Oberlichtenau Castle park. The house saw many high personalities of the time when the Saxon Prime Minister celebrated lavish parties with his entourage. But Heinrich Graf von Brühl had a bitter opponent in King Frederick II of Prussia, who almost contributed …

September 16, 2022,Expedition Keulenberg

After the Stoneman Dolomiti, Harzer Grenzweg and Erzgebirge crossing, it was time for something really awesome!
A handful of daredevils dared to climb the Keulenberg without aids and oxygen. The Keulenberg is the highest elevation between Dresden and Sweden and therefore a real challenge!

Most of the time we don't get out of the 1st verse 😉 (if you're not singing in the choir right now!) The baroque palace was built in the 17th century. …

September 17, 2022,Westlausitz: Rundweg Keulenberg

The first autumn hike took us with dear friends to Oberlichtenau in western Lusatia. Between sunshine and downpours, there was everything that makes a nice hike today. First, the baroque palace lured us into its garden. Surrounded by many statues, it is a real eye-catcher and the castle is also a beautiful sight in the midday sun. We left the …
