May 4, 2024,Thorwalder Gratweg 🚫
It is said that the Thorwalder Gratweg is one of the most beautiful but also most challenging trails in Saxon Switzerland and this can be confirmed without a doubt 😉👍.

What a day and what a tour. The Gratweg had been on my wish list for far too long and today it was finally time to turn this wish into reality.

It started very relaxed along the Kirnitzschtalstraße (according to the sign closed at the beginning). But I wanted to see again how far I could get 🤓.
