September 16, 2025, Bison Viewing Shelter at Markkleeberger See

A beautiful vantage point. Hornets have moved into the gable, and there's a warning sign posted (as of September 2025). The little creatures are peaceful, though (I'm allergic to wasp and hornet venom), and if you just watch them, nothing will happen.

Some paths are very steep and bumpy, so you should be fit.
