February 24, 2024,Wandern 6/24: Drachenschwanzbrücke am BUGA-Gelände Ronneburg, Runde von Grobsdorf durch das Gessnertal

A very informative tour through the Gessnertal for interested hikers. Unfortunately, the sun was hidden behind fat clouds for the exact time of my hike. 🙄🤷‍♀️

Today, we took a detour to the former BUGA site. Object 90 – a very interesting exhibition about Wismut – is definitely worth a look.
From the Discovery Tower, you have a fantastic view of the vast area.
For €4, you can relax with a ride on the Elstertal Express, which also increases your average speed considerably.
