A short round through the forest, even if the gusty wind and the many rotten branches are not an ideal combination.
However, I accepted this at a pleasant 20°C.
I started around coffee time, so I was relatively alone. I only met a few cyclists and three hikers along the way.
Arriving at the Kuhweiher

For the way home, I had put together a short loop around Burgk Castle 🏰. High above the Saale bend, the castle has perched on a rock since 1365 and can be seen from the entire loop. The restored, old walls house a museum and a Silbermann organ. In addition, concerts, exhibitions, festivals, and markets

I parked in the car park at the dam wall for €4 for the whole day. There are also public toilets there and the place is clean and well-maintained.
Right at the beginning, it goes moderately but steadily uphill. A first lake view invites you to linger with a bench - already occupied today.
The sun doesn

I started the tour again from the Ziegenrück hiking parking lot. And today too, I briefly stopped by the bakery.
This was followed by the first ascent, which made me sweat a lot, despite the cool air. The weather was supposed to hold all day, so I bravely left the umbrella ☂️ at home.
Soon I shed my

Even today, the weather couldn't make up its mind. The sun shone through the clouds at times, and shortly thereafter, tiny graupel pellets rained down. So, I replenished my supplies in the morning and ventured out around 1:30 PM for a route that the lady of the house had recommended to me yesterday

Originally, a circuit of the Hohenwarte reservoir was planned for this week, and the recent weeks with spring-like weather are not entirely innocent of that. Now, just in time for the start of my trip, the weather turned. A gusty wind brought rain, and even a few snowflakes managed to make it all the

The tour was originally supposed to be called "A Touch of Spring."
It was also supposed to be 16°C, but forecasts and reality are usually quite different. In the end, it was 5°C with a clear blue sky.
No matter, the destination was set.
I'd already passed through the town a few times, and the fortress had

Went all out again today. First, I bought a few things, then headed off to my 14th feeding frenzy, but hardly a single bird showed up. The wind was icy, even though it was coming from the west.
Then, on the way back, there was a pig lying on the sidewalk...
If that's not a good omen for the new year

After inspecting my bird feeders yesterday, it was time again today.
With what felt like triple-digit humidity, my now-beloved constant fog, and a temperature of 3°C, I set off. No one else was around, and the fog reduced visibility to just a few meters.
As I had expected, none of the seeds were left

Vögel 🐦 füttern Runde 7
Eigentlich wollte ich das Futter erst morgen auffüllen, aber das herrliche Wetter konnte ich einfach nicht ignorieren. Schnell war der Rucksack gepackt und ich auf dem Weg.
Nur ein paar leichte Schleier zogen gemächlich über den Himmel wodurch die Sonne ☀️ heute leichtes Spiel hatte. Wie jedes Jahr zu dieser…

⭐ Unterwegs fürs Weihnachtswunder – Touren gegen den Hunger in der Welt
Wie auch letztes Jahr, folge ich auch Heuer wieder der Einladung, ein kleines Zeichen zu setzen.
Und weil ich auch dieses Jahr meine Vogelfutter - Aktion weiterführe, konnte ich beides miteinander verbinden.
Der Frost war in der letzten Nacht dem Tauwetter gewichen und Nebelschleier zogen über die Felder und durch…

No. Everyone participating in the event can do their tour individually. I'll be doing my tour in the next few days.

On the last day, Augustusburg Castle was on the agenda. The weather was moderate, clouds weighed heavily on the roof of the castle, and at first, the entrance fee of 20 euros seemed a bit steep.
Starting with the 🏍️ exhibition, I quickly changed my mind. What's on offer there, and constantly updated

Because you want to savor such a beautiful day, and I spotted a small reservoir in the middle of the forest on the map, my hiking boots were briefly used. The wide forest path bore witness to heavy machinery that must have recently driven over it, but it wasn't muddy. The sun ☀️ tried to dry it, but

Even though the weather wasn't particularly inviting at first, the short walk through the colorful autumn forest around Central Saxony's largest reservoir was ultimately worth it.
As expected, there were no crowds at the hiking parking lot. After about 10 minutes, you reach the company premises, where

Today was finally the day. After over 20 years of living in the district, I finally got to visit the Maybach Museum.
Impressive what this visionary, who himself preferred to walk or take the train, achieved for engine construction.
I am absolutely no car fanatic, but I stood in awe before the exhibits
