Today, extraordinary things are happening: firstly, I'm hiking with a guide, secondly, we're arriving by car, and thirdly, an easy, non-challenging circular route awaits us. Everything you don't know about me.🙈 I chose the Dragon Circular Trail in the Saxon/Thuringian Vogtland region for us. It leads past the Syrau Dragon Cave, which is supposed to be our highlight today.☺
