At 10 a.m., in the freezing cold, I first went to the Book Museum of the German National Library. There, I even got a little extra tour and was able to catch a glimpse of one of the reading rooms. What service, what a start, all free!
By then, the sun had gained some strength, and it was relatively pleasant

I gladly accepted a birthday invitation for coffee, as the cake at the town hall café was, once again, absolutely delicious.
Afterwards, I had a sports drink, which gave me a good boost of vitamins for the journey home.

The next stop on the Purple Path trail was on the agenda. I had planned this hike two years ago and was now able to combine the two.
Essentially, it's two loops that I hiked. The fact that I passed the train station twice was due to a road closure. On the plus side, this meant I could use the free restroom in the city park.

Today was Purple Path day again. Two of them were unveiled in L.O. on November 21, 2025. Unfortunately, there were once again idiots who thought they had to damage the sculpture. Now the whole area is fenced off, just like in Zwickau back then. They're waiting for better weather to repair the damage

Unexpected things often happen. My brother came by in hiking gear, I asked if he was coming, and as you can see, I simply joined him.
We walked together as far as the Dänkritz Forest, then I said goodbye and headed towards the train station. It's good to live near a train station so you can get home without

A walk close to home was in order. On Kuhbergweg, I'd once seen a signpost for the Waldpark circular hiking trail. I looked up the route online and saved it. Today seemed like a good day to finally hike it. Well-rested, I set off after lunch in the sunshine. Unfortunately, the sun didn't last until the

Unfortunately, there wasn't a bus directly from the train station to the city center, so I decided to walk in the slightly sub-zero temperatures. The city tour then resumed at the central bus station, this time in Oschatz, in northern Saxony, in the heart of Saxony. It's considered "in the heart" because

The train was a bit delayed at first. I knew that would mean missing time in Weimar. I didn't want to stress there anymore, and instead of museums, I planned a short photo walk and a search for a nice café. Unfortunately, I had no luck and ended up taking the 4 pm train home.

"Sachsenring, oh Sachsenring olé!" Actually, that's the battle cry of FSV Zwickau. Well, this time THE Sachsenring near Hohenstein-Ernstthal is the hiking destination.
The starting point was Gersdorf. I initially chose a route I'd already planned to hike back in December. However, at the time, I'd seen
