Tips from the Community
Trekkingcamp Alteburg – Pure nature! On our tour, we spent the night with three friends at the Trekkingcamp Alteburg – super well-maintained, beautifully laid out, and wonderfully quiet. A perfect spot to put your feet up after a long hike and enjoy the starry sky. Our video about it: https://youtu.be/B_VgL2QA7fI
