After a small detour we arrived at the bottom and had a hearty snack at the former …

Finally outside again after a short but busy week. The next stage on the Zschopau - continuation of the tour from 01/14/23 komoot.de/tour/1011463750 had been planned for a long time.
A very nice, varied and actually comfortable round - if the forest workers hadn't left us an exciting scrambling section in the area of the Dilichblick/Tschirschsky Stein 😅
