Today, the journey continued on the Lausitzer Schlange – this time I started directly in Gröditz, which is easily accessible by bus from Bautzen. The stage (approx. 26 km to Mönau) is mainly suitable for hardened thru-hikers: The proportion of roads and asphalt is relatively high, so it's not necessarily

Today I climbed the Lausitzer Schlange again in Niesky. In contrast to the previous stages, I hardly knew this section before. Only the last part through the Gröditzer Skala was already familiar to me – I had already hiked the Via Regia there once.
However, it must be said that this stage is not one of

Today I hiked the Lausitzer Schlange through the core zone of Saxon Switzerland National Park. I already knew many of the highlights – including the Hintere Raubschloss (also called Winterstein) and the Hickelhöhle. The stop at the Alten Zeughaus in the Kirnitzschtal was particularly nice: there was

Today was the next stage of the Lausitzer Schlange. It led me from Hermsdorf with its beautiful Baroque castle and the surrounding park to Arnsdorf.
The beginning of the tour was rather unspectacular. I found the big detour via Ottendorf-Okrilla to be not very varied. Although I didn't know the route

The big Thru-Hike starts today. Within a month, several long-distance hiking trails in the Upper Lusatia region are to be hiked. It starts with the first stage of the **Lausitzer Schlange** from Dresden.
I haven't been to the Dresdner Heide in a long time, but it immediately felt familiar again. Apart

Today, on the first day of the new time-of-day division, I haven't fully utilized it yet. Instead, I walked quite relaxed the final stage of the regional hiking trail from Blankenheim to Portenschmiede, which today actually brought me to the Thüringer Meer.
There are hardly any markings left here, only

Ultimately, 45 km turned out not to be the optimal stage length – especially the last ten kilometers felt quite tough.
Nevertheless, the stage was surprisingly varied overall and much more scenic than I had expected. Right at the beginning, there was a real highlight: the Georgewitzer Skala – a wild and
