The hiking trail with the yellow dot is the circular route around and also through Dürrröhrsdorf-Dittersbach. We hiked large parts of it today, but skipped the Dittersbach part.
The pictures show a consistently cloudy sky, but at least it stayed dry today. Only at the very end did the sun show itself

Changeable weather accompanied us today on our way in and around the Karswald. We started in Arnsdorf in beautiful weather, and in Fischbach, a heavy shower soaked us. In the area of Schwarze Röder, the forest paths were very wet, but still easy to walk on, as there are no damages from forestry here

After having hiked the northern part of the spoil heap a good week ago, today it had to be the southern part. At the beginning, we had a rather pleasant ascent to an Oberlausitz viewpoint. However, it has been a long time since one had a view from here. Later, we reach a memorial stone for the horse

The tour description just barely misses reality. We started at Kreuzberg, but we weren't at the summit. Then we perhaps circled the Schwarzen Berg for about two-thirds, but we weren't at the top here either (it's not a big deal anyway). Instead, we enjoyed the landscape. The field path was lined with

A tour with the motto: We're repeating a hike at a different time of year and hiking in the opposite direction. We did this one at the beginning of November last year and were curious to see what it looks like now at the end of May. Our conclusion: We liked autumn better. Many things stand out better

What a beautiful hike and what wonderful Whitsun weather! Pure sunshine, but due to the light wind it wasn't too hot, and with sun the landscape simply looks better. And the tour itself; we had already done it once before, in November 2019. No comparison to the impressions at the end of May!

The train station in Kunice is located outside the town, which is why it also lacks a representative station building. The town itself has lost its original rural character and has become more of a suburb of Legnica, with chic houses, because building land is still relatively cheap here. The town also

The summit of Lausche was not on the agenda today. Instead, we descended from Jägerdörfel (Myslivny) via Oberlichtenwalde (Horní Světlá) to the Hoffnung (Naděje) reservoir. We didn't go around the reservoir, but only used the dam from the south. A little further downstream on the Hammersbach there is

Regardless of the direction the tour is hiked - it always goes steeply uphill at the beginning and steeply downhill towards the end. The mountain landscape repeatedly offers beautiful views. Now - in mid-May - many meadows are blooming, and there are quite a few of them here.

To conclude the short Rügen holiday, a hike along the Bodden and coast near Glowe was planned. The first part of the route thus led to the Bodden harbour.
From here, the narrow hiking trail initially leads through the forest and later between bushes, which reminded us a little of Corsica. We noted with

And again a beautiful and varied hike on the island of Rügen, just like yesterday, we started in a large parking lot, the last official one before Kap Arkona. First, we walked west along the road, fields to the left and right, but also hardly any cars, past the Bundeswehr radar station. But soon we turn

After two failed attempts, the complete circuit of the Goldentraum reservoir has finally worked. The first time, construction work slowed us down, the second time the plan was different. Today it was actually very hot, around 30°C. But it's very beautiful here at the reservoir, because we walk a lot
