Second test for the knee, the first real one. And well mastered, I would say.
Well, there were only a few steep downhill sections, but in the last third there were a few hundred meters. It was noticeable, but then it was over again. That gives hope for future tours. 🙂

I have not met (living) bears. Very nice tour for every season. Well signposted, it's impossible to get lost. The section from Hakenkrümme to Brethaus and back is not part of the circular route, but it is a good addition.

Great hiking tour in the Ore Mountains 👍. And as usual, there are also steep climbs in the Ore Mountains. It's always uphill from the Bretthaus to the Spiegelwald, so you should be in good shape. But it's worth it, the views of the Ore Mountains are unique.

One of the strengths of the circular route, which leads from the Schwarzwassertal to the Spiegelwald, are wonderful views. (only not today) The path is well signposted so that it is impossible to …

The views are great, with the Ore Mountains in view. The path runs a lot of the …
