The climb is steep and the path is uneven, but the view is great. Hike along the Zschopau.

Steep sloping trail with good views of the Zschopau. Surefootedness should be available. The way is not suitable for strollers.

February 1, 2025,🥾🐾 Talsperre Kriebstein - Der Hund 🐶 wollte an die frische Luft ☁
🥾🐾 After the flat hike the day before yesterday along the Elbe, today it was a bit up and down again. Beautiful rock formations were to be admired, such as the Schroeter Bastei and the Pfaffenstein. All in all a nice round trip, with Holger the hiking dog 🐶

In glorious spring weather, we were supposed to walk along the Zschopau/Kriebstein Dam today.
First we walked along the road for a long stretch. But the view over the golden rapeseed fields made up for it.
The path along the Zschopau was quite challenging for me. Sure-footedness is essential!

Very nice tour, especially the part along the Zschopau.
