Bergkirche Beucha and Quarry

You can always do the anniversary tour of the DAV, even if it's a bit too much asphalt.
You will be rewarded with great views over the local quarries. In today's weather you can even see Leipzig from the Westbruch.

Spring is slowly testing itself with beautiful colours. 🙂🌼🌸

The Kirchbruch is framed by rugged granite rocks and the picturesque Beucha mountain church stands on a hill. The water has a maximum depth of 38 meters and thus remains refreshing even in midsummer. For those who like to climb steeply …
