Today a loop along the Zschopau, which I have walked many times in different variations in every season. But in autumn, it is of course especially beautiful. It was also different because of the large hiking group from the Alpenverein, with whom I walked at least half the distance. The suspension bridge

Today another round from my mini-series Wilde Weißeritz and dams in the Eastern Ore Mountains.
The tour was a nice forest path, but it was blocked twice: once due to logging (they were actually working, so no sneaking through quickly) and once for no apparent reason, it was just blocked. Also, the reservoir

Today, the 7th and final stage of the Forststeig. Detoured again to get back to the car. Right at the beginning, the quite sweaty Göhrischstein and Papststein ascent, which really has it in it. The Göhrischstein also pushed us to our limits: All 3 ascents with ladders, 2 of them in a narrow rock crevice

Unfortunately, I couldn't take the famous needle's eye descent. It has ladders, the dog can't manage that. But I did climb the observation

Attention: The path contains a modest section, approx. 1km, full of windbreak

Today, another detour to Rochsburg: After already being there this year from Penig, Lunzenau and Rochsburg itself (in that case from below through the railway tunnel), today for the sake of completeness also from Burgstädt. Through the beautiful Brausetal. This completes my Rochsburg collection for now.

Today a round in the Spaargebirge. This is the smallest mountain range in Saxony (area 3.5 x 1.5 km). Essentially, it is a tour between the vineyards near Meißen. Now in autumn, of course, it is particularly colorful. The Spaargebirge consists of the Deutsche Bosel, Kleine and Große Boselspitze, Römische
