March 20, 2025,Obere Sachsenburg – Untere Sachsenburg (Hakenburg) Runde von Sachsenburg

Beautiful first spring tour, well-maintained paths, plenty of seating (pack food and drinks) And if you want to experience GDR romance - a detour to the castle tavern is worthwhile

Our second short trip took us to the ruins of the Saxon castles, which Herbert only saw from afar on his Unstrut hike.
Afterwards we wanted to fortify ourselves in the castle tavern, which we did, but what a cave🫣.
But friendly hosts, and the stories of the old rock musician😎🤘.
But what a dive🫣🫣
