June 2, 2022,Von Weida über die Osterburg zur Aumatalsperre.

It's a nice hike.
I have adapted it to my imagination, compared to the original route.
There are plenty of places to sit and rest on it.
Shortly before reaching the dam there is a rest area with the only wide view on the entire route.
The heap of Ronneburg can be seen on the horizon.
If visibility is good, …

Plenty of free parking at the start of the tour. Let's go to the Osterburg. Continue to the Paulinenhöhe with a wonderful view over Weida. Along beautiful varied forest paths to Eisenhammer and then left the dam wall of the Auma dam to circumnavigate. Idyllic, quiet - just pure relaxation. Unfortunately, Aumamühle as a restaurant is not yet open at …

Today I was drawn to the water once again. From Weida, however, we first went to the Paulinenhöhe, from which one has a fantastic view of Weida and the Osterburg, which is enthroned prominently above the town. On beautiful forest paths, however, we then continued, among other things, through the Finstertal to the Auma dam. It was built in 1936 …

March 8, 2025,Weida rund um die Osterburg

Women's Day 08.03.2025 and 30 hiking friends and guests of the Plauen Nature Friends are drawn to nature.

We took the train and changed trains once to Weida Mitte.

A short stretch through the city and we were standing below the imposing Osterburg.

Uphill, the path led us into nature on a hiking trail through a mixed forest.

June 6, 2022,Weida, Osterburg, Schömberg, Aumatal, Weida,

Weida is worth a trip! Not only because of its Easter castle, which is undoubtedly the absolute eye-catcher and tourist magnet! No, the 900-year-old Weida is an enchanting small town with many historical buildings. It lies between wooded mountain ranges in the valley, which can be reached via numerous hiking trails.
If you can handle the fact that there are …

March 17, 2025,Verlängerte Runde um die Aumatalsperre, Start in Weida (PP Freibad)

A hike to start the week.

But I somehow overestimated the weather and the sun's brilliance. It was only 3-4 degrees Celsius, and a thick cloud accompanied us most of the way.
