Dog bathing area at a beautifully renatured former open-cast mine pit of the "Vereinigtes Schleenhain" open-cast mine. leipziger-neuseenland.org/grossstolpener-see
You can easily cycle around it.
On the way back, we briefly stopped at the viewpoint of the active "Vereinigtes Schleenhain" open-cast mine

Today just a short walk to the "Old Lady of Babisnau" with great views of Dresden and the surrounding area.
We abandoned the originally planned loop via Babisnau and the old postal road due to the heavy traffic on the local road.

Nice forest and pond loop for the start of the week and we topped up our little collection for the Dahlener Heide a bit.

Set off in the rain - but our weather app promised a "rain window" - and it worked. On the way back, it poured down...

We once again stumbled into an event unplanned - the 32nd Zeitz City Run...
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the many runners, we simply passed the entrance with Berli 🐕, even though access to the park is subject to a

Until recently, we had no idea about this beautiful wildlife park. Admission is free but time-limited.

At least partially, it is financed by the parking fees from the associated parking lot: currently 0.60 Euro/30 Min.

Small leisurely trip - once again on the trails of Saxony's castles
sachsens-schloesser.de/rodewisch-burg-goeltzsch-mit-rittergut-obergoeltzsch
As early as 1450, a medieval moated castle was documented in Rodewisch at the confluence of the Göltzsch and Pöltzsch rivers.

Small Monday excursion to the second largest reservoir in Saxony.

The reservoir currently has little water - it was still enough for a "Berlin swim" in the almost lukewarm water 😉

Excursion to one of Leipzig's most popular historical park landscapes. Augustus the Strong, who ruled Saxony from 1694, wanted to have a pleasure palace built on this site, but this was cleverly prevented by Leipzig's city fathers. From the Great Meadow, six sightlines that were created for the palace

Last week, MDR reported that the Schmochtitz educational center will be closed in 2027 due to annual deficits of approx. 700,000 euros.
It would be a shame about the well-maintained facility - which we took a look at today. More info including a site plan:

Small Saturday stroll that didn't go quite as planned:
1. Couldn't find the planned parking lot due to a road closure - so cheekily parked in the small visitor parking lot of the Wagnermuseum.
2. Planned round through the castle park wasn't possible - side entrances to the castle park were closed and the
