Perfect weather for a perfect day.

An entertaining hike that couldn't be more beautiful.

Along the route above Hohnstein, you have wonderful views of the castle and the town. The Thieves' Cave and Gautsch Grotto are a highlight for children.

Our family reunion hiking tour concluded with a guided tour of

A beautiful, easy loop that's great for children.

The climb to the Wilkeaussicht (viewpoint) is quite steep, but the view across the Elbe into the town is more than worth it.

Along the way, you'll encounter many relics from the active quarry days.

You can also refresh your knowledge by meeting Elfriede

It's bordering on suicide for locals to venture into the tourist hotspot on a sunny July weekend.

We did it🤣

The reason was a soon-to-expire voucher for pedal boating on Lake Amselsee, followed by a ride over the Schwedenlöcher up to the Bastei and back to Rathen.

The crowds of people wanting to take the

Last hike in this wonderful area before heading home to our beautiful Saxon Switzerland.

Zwiesel was the destination, despite the unfavorable weather conditions. Well, anyone can hike in good weather.

The entire Königssee and Obersee are a single highlight.

A short, very nice walk around the market square and on to the castle. Beautiful houses, everything exudes

Saturday morning, 9:00 a.m., and the parking lot was full....🤣

The path to the Schhärtenalm climbs steadily, sometimes steeply, sometimes less steeply. This forest path is easy to walk on. Wide switchbacks through the forest take you to the Schhärtenalm in about two hours, depending on your pace. The

If you're in this area, you should definitely plan a visit to the Kehlsteinhaus. We usually hike everywhere, but this time we had a chauffeur drive up. With a guest card, the trip up and down for a family of four costs around €60. It's advisable to check the internet beforehand and, if necessary, book

The hike to the Halsalm – a regular part of our vacation itinerary.

Starting in beautiful weather at the "Hirschbichelstraße" parking lot (fee required), we first walked quite leisurely along the road, then gradually – but still leisurely – up a gravel path. The climb became ever higher and steeper, yet

The description "difficult" is absolutely accurate.

We considered this climb with our children (boys, 12 and 10 years old) for a long time.

We decided to do it and haven't regretted it. Some of you will probably shake your head; everyone knows their child best.
