Even though Enti has already successfully completed the route with me, she had to stay at home today.
To do this, we walked along the path with the family.
My efforts were great when I tried to explain, "I always push my bike that way." Unfortunately I wasn't believed.

➡️START was at the train station car park, where you go directly into Brüderweg opposite. This is a great recommended round! Entertaining narrow, sometimes rocky paths with a view of the valley. With a few highlights, like the bridge and the narrow path around the rock.
The Brüderweg is about 3 km.
In Hainsberg you then go back along the …

Today we took advantage of the beautiful weather. Get some exercise in the fresh air and sun.
We started in the parking lot at the train station and walked the Brüderweg.
At the oven rock there was a small break with food.
Via the Hirschbergschänke and Hainsberg then on to the Leitenweg.
There was a little refreshment at the "Bahnwärterhäuschen". …

Today the time window wasn't that big, so a tour was just around the corner. Since I suffer from walking dementia, it's nice to walk some paths every now and then. And that's why today we went back towards Tharandt via the Brüdersteig. For me, one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the region. Why - just look at …

Today it gets a bit adventurous, but only on the second try. Because shortly after I start, it begins to rain so heavily that I return to my accommodation. When the shower subsides, I set off again, and as always, it goes uphill first. A narrow path leads into the forest, and as soon as I'm in, I pick up …
