With such glorious winter weather ❄️, and despite the cold 🥶, you simply have to get outside. The circular trail around the Sosa reservoir is perfect. The trail was popular today; we saw lots of day-trippers.

From the car park, there is a very pleasant, comfortable and easy-going circular path around the dam.
As it is a drinking water dam, the path runs relatively far away from the shore.
But nature makes up for it and in the shade of the forest you don't even feel the heat.

There's not much to see of the dam itself when walking around it, but you are allowed to walk over the top of the dam 😊 and despite the forest motorway paths, it's a nice, clear route.

Today the daughter from Schneeberg was brought home from her internship. It was quickly discussed beforehand that we would do a hiking tour on site. Unfortunately, the weather on the way there didn't promise anything good; Rain and wind.
So I cleared out the temporary dorm room on site and then followed the recommendation of your teacher tutor. So off …

New Year's round at the Sosa dam. The wind was a bit blustery and brisk, but at least no rain.
The rejuvenation route is a deception. 😉 If you want to test it yourself: sure-footedness and sturdy shoes are required.
