In the best weather ☀️ a hike with lots of ups and downs, great views, highlights such as Holzmühle, Harrasfelsen ⛰️and 🏰 Wolkenburg Castle and beautiful nature. Various places invite you to have a picnic. The new bridge over the Mulde just before Penig is also impressive.
Done 💪🏻😎!

February 11, 2023,# 50 🧦🥾: Lutherweg Abschnitt Penig>Wolkenburg

DEPARTURE*STOP*ARRIVE

Under this motto we covered a proud 15 km yesterday on the Luther Trail between Penig 🔄 Wolkenburg.

We turned it into an 8 with a turnstile in Thierbach with 🌉.

A very nice section is the Birken-Allee between Thierbach and Wolkenburg. Why? See photos and note a sign at the end of the avenue.
