March 24, 2023,Neunburg vorm Wald: Eixendorfer Seewanderweg 🚣 🚂 👍

The hiking trail over the dam wall is officially closed due to construction work, but there are no workers there at the weekend and we walked over it on Friday afternoons, which was possible without any problems, otherwise we would have had to turn around and go under the car bridge. The only reason why the path is probably closed …

The weekend at home ended with a trip around the reservoir and a visit to the grumpy rock face, which doesn't look any friendlier in profile either.

Since I simply don't have the time to edit my tours on the computer and label the photos nicely, and so many tours are piling up here, I decided today to simply put the tours back up as they are on my phone. 😇
You can usually imagine what you'll see. 😅
Thomas will accompany Lina and me on November …

August 24, 2024,Neunburg vorm Wald: Eixendorfer Seeweg im Sommer 🚣 🚂 ☀️

Today we went on a hike that you can repeat at any time. Especially when it's over 30 degrees, "some" water nearby is a welcome change. We walked around the entire Eixendorf reservoir on a 15km route. We've been there twice, but each time we started differently and at different times of the year. The summer hike was still pending …

Today we wanted to go to Neunburg vorm Wald to hike around the Eixendorfer Lake.
So we loaded the dogs into the car and off we went...
In Amberg, an attentive driver drove past us and pointed at our car. I immediately pulled over to the right and looked. Hallelujah, we were lucky, the left rear brake calliper was stuck …

Beautiful circular route. Also suitable for summer as the path goes through the forest a lot. Unfortunately there is no possibility to dip your feet in the water or let the dog bathe. Everything is full of blue-green algae.

The wonderful trip to Eixendorf... Not...

9am, everyone gets in the car, the gang of four of course, and off we go towards the Eixendorf reservoir. In Amberg, passing cars alerted us to our tires 🙈 Brakes stuck, luckily there is a garage just a few hundred meters away. Looking for a rental car with dog(s)... Not recommended. Found something …

Eixendorfer reservoir is lowered due to construction work. Interesting what comes out. The course of the Schwarzach is visible or the former railway line, road to Eixendorf and much more.
