Today we went hiking again in our beautiful Ore Mountains. Right at the beginning we made a short detour to the Jüdenstein. Then up to Rauenstein Castle 🏰 and from there through the Flöhatal back to the starting point in Pokau. As a reward we had a delicious cake 🍰 and coffee ☕️ in Café Mauersberger 😋

Broken paths, tons of angular and sharp-edged stones, and in places muddy where the sun never shines. …

A very scenic hike, with many small highlights, but also with many muddy paths.😓
The wonderful sunshine was really good for the old bones again, and things went much better straight away. 😊 It could stay like this. 🌞

From Pockau downriver (which would then be left again 🤫) through a very scenic area over the viewpoints east of the mountain town of Lengefeld. The views …
