May 1, 2026,Dreiländereck Sachsen-Böhmen-Bayern 🍀💚🥾☀️

Today we undertook a hike in the border triangle of Saxony–Bohemia–Bavaria. The weather was ideal – sunny, pleasantly warm, and perfect for hiking.

The route led through a very beautiful landscape with lots of nature, forests, and quiet paths. What was particularly interesting, however, was not just the nature, but also the history of this region.
