September 23, 2025, Descent to the Saale River

The descent was partially rutted by tractor tracks in 2025, and several fallen trees littered the path. Surefootedness and waterproof footwear are highly recommended—but the walk along the Saale River is worth it!

Apart from the occasional overhead airplane, there's no sound of civilization in this narrow, deep valley. Only nature. Very beautiful!
