Another round along the beautiful Flöha, to the Saidenbach Dam. Here the dam has been completed after a long construction period. You can walk over it again.
Then we continued via Reifland to Eppendorf and back along the Lößnitz.

Enjoy the sun once again!
Over the dam of the Saidenbachtalsperre, we went down to Rauhenstein, to the Flöha.

A very nice walk!

Highly recommended, especially on hot days, as you're walking along the water and there's usually plenty of shade.

Today was also beautiful, but unfortunately there was no sun...
At least the trees protected me from the rough wind.
