A round from the "Rother Hiking Guide", at least largely, in the Chemnitztal. On the way there, lots of field paths, where forest paths, then often poor path conditions, especially in the Voselbach valley and on the way back to the left of the Chemnitz. Lots of deadwood, also lying across, so sun reaches

Today a round through the Hoher Forst mining area near Kirchberg. It belongs to the UNESCO World Heritage Montanregion Erzgebirge. Mining took place here for 700 years, until 1945. The last adit is also called Engländerstollen because English prisoners of war worked there.
This is my first tour of the

The way there can be done by bus, e.g. hiking bus - line 588, but today we had a private shuttle.
Immediately after starting in Reitzenhain comes the moor educational path, and then we essentially walked along the old Zeuggraben, which used to lead from Reitzenhain to Gebirge. ATTENTION: The official

Trip there with the hiking bus (line 588) from Sebastiansberg to Chomutov-Bersovska (that's where everyone gets off), then back up along the Chomutovska valley. The first half is a beautiful hiking trail, with quite steep stairs, the 2nd part on the bike path. Of course, you can also take the bike path

Today a round starting at the "Bösewetterweg", a term from mining, but today it lived up to its name: almost constant rain and cool, which was a blessing for humans, dogs, and nature after the heat battle last week. Of course, it's rather bad for the viewpoints, not much to see there today. But the miniature

After last week's shortened 38-degree heat tours, today a 19-degree tour, so you can walk a bit further. Together with the fresh wind and the heat-induced leaf fall, it felt almost like an autumn round today. The start was Meißen Altstadt station, on the way there by S-Bahn, then straight through Coswig

Today a tour without travel: Directly on the Zschopau and back over the suspension bridge. New in the city park: New metal benches: They look a bit like at a train station, but -hopefully- will last longer than the wooden ones. At the end, I made a detour to the new ice cream parlor in Lauenhainer Stra

Today another section of the route on the old Wilsdruff narrow-gauge railway network: this time Wilsdruff-Helbigsdorf, with a detour to the swimming lake.
The old railway line is a completely asphalted cycle path, of course you can walk, like I did, but a bicycle is more suitable here.

Today another short "heat round", again one by Uli and Berli, again one with a lot of shade and water. Although the 3 Kreuzteiche are completely fenced off. There's no swimming there. I also wanted to add a detour to the old town, but it was already too hot at 9:30 in the morning, so I stayed at Schloss

The castle itself is a daycare center, and with the 5 ponds there are also some issues: Stagnant, and quite shallow waters also don't tolerate the

Today, due to the heat, just a short round in the Adelsberg area. There are actually still paths there that I haven't walked yet. Except at the Meridianstein, where I've already been 3 times this year. Despite the short tour, everything was included: forest, view of Chemnitz, bathing possibility for the dog. Fits.

Today a tour on the slopes of the Weißeritz, quite demanding, with some altitude meters. The path is a beautiful, almost alpine trail for long stretches, some sections even secured with ropes, while elsewhere it is in a deplorable state, full of fallen trees across the path, often several on top of or
