Today we went on the special tour “Der Ehrenberger”. It started in Desert Saxony from the church. The path is well signposted. We left out the Schafstein today because we already walked it two weeks ago. It was a nice tour with great views ☀️🥾

Today we went the extra tour with a couple we are friends with: the Ehrenberger. The tour opened in September last year. It's a challenging hike with some inclines. We skipped the loop around the Schafsstein, because of the rain in the last few days it was too wet and slippery for us. We will catch up in the summer. …

A really wonderful new extra tour! It offers - including a few meters of altitude - many great landscape impressions.

Really premium, this extra tour! Curse and blessing at the same time: gastronomy along the way? Zero, nada, nothing. Sturdy shoes are a must, especially in the Schafstein area. That at least keeps the flip-flop faction away (hopefully) 😃😃😃
