Quiet autumn loop around Kohren-Sahlis.
From the Töpferbrunnen to the Putschelbank viewpoint.
Met some friendly and fluffy cattle there.
Continuing to the Lindigtmühle.
The pond has been drained and fished out.
On the wonderfully leaf-covered path back, we find the Gellertbrunnen and miss the Schwind

Yesterday I simply overlooked including the ponds at the edge of the forest in the tour to Merseburg.
It would have fit perfectly.
Today I am happy to take the family out for some fresh air in the Burgaue. The paths are visibly narrowing and turning into trails by the ponds. It is wonderfully quiet here

It makes sense to follow the Ecumenical Pilgrimage Route Via Regia and its scallop shell signs from Leipzig to Merseburg.
I do this at the beginning, then switch to the Gose-Weg and add a few extra treats.
First, I greet the new day and Leipzig from the Rosental observation tower, also known as the Wackelturm

My hike starts at the Thüringer Weintor in Bad Sulza near the Gradierwerk.
It first leads past vineyards, whose harvest has already been completed.
I have to search a bit to be able to capture a few grapes for the picture.
I ignore the first signs in Bad Sulza about the hiking trail closure.

Today I have the opportunity to do what I've always wanted to do!
My lunch siesta can be extended a bit, and so, thanks to my annual pass, I wander through Zoo Leipzig and the adjacent Rosental before heading back to earn my bread.
The zoo is well-attended on an inconspicuous Wednesday lunchtime.

Two weeks ago I was from Weißenfels to Bad Kösen on a part of the Finnewanderweg.
Today a round from Leissling, to connect interesting places off the Finnewanderweg.
First I reach Goseck Castle. The monastery church has not opened yet, at the end of the round I will come by again.

The last section of the Elstermühlgraben, which has been brought back to daylight, was opened in mid-September!
Today we walk along the course of the water and check it visually for navigability. 🛶
Up to the Weiße Elster it will already be difficult, let alone 'up to the Alster'.😉
Narrow jungle-like passages

Tierra del Fuego is finished!
Another highlight in Leipzig Zoo!
I immediately bought a season ticket; that says something!😺
After five to seven, it gets noticeably quieter in the zoo on Friday evenings: however, the sea lions are then in their permanent enclosures and can no longer be experienced above

Today, there is a considerable stretch of asphalt to cover - it goes close to the Saale along a section of the Finnewanderweg, which extends from Weißenfels to Heldrungen for about 91 kilometers.
The morning atmosphere by the Saale is beautiful.
Therefore, there will be a few more pictures today...

The Federal Administrative Court Leipzig is not on the list of places for this year's Tag des offenen Denkmals (Open Monument Day), but surprisingly there are still free spots for a guided tour in the building, which was built between 1888 and 1895.
So, quickly into shoes after breakfast and off we go

Today there is a further training📚 in Dresden and so I garnish the time before and after with a stroll through Dresden. I will stop by Erich Kästner🕵♂️, the Pfund dairy🧀, at the Prießnitz estuary into the Elbe🌊, in the Neustadt🎨, at the Military History Museum🚀 and the usual Dresden Old Town suspects...

Almost a month ago, I visited Rudelsburg and Burg Saaleck.🏰 Today, the area has a completely different mood.🍂☁️
It is deep autumn and the weather is gray and gloomy.
I am glad it is not raining, even though it looks like it might all day.
Coming from Bad Kösen this time, I have my sights set on the
