November 3, 2024,Goldenes Laabertal - Steige und Flussweg

Very nice mix - steep terrain, beech forest and a comfortable way back along the river with a sculpture park. The path through the rocks is NOT a via ferrata but a somewhat technical hiking trail. The railway cave is also easily doable for a somewhat experienced hiker.

Very nice interesting round and the paths can be walked without problems if you are reasonably sure-footed.

March 18, 2025,von Schönhofen nach Eichhofen über Loch

Inspired by @Roland's tour:
Under a blue, cloudless sky, we first walked along the Laber River, past the climbing rocks, then up from Eichhofen, with a short detour to see the Loch, and then back along the top. Today, accompanied by an old school friend who had come to the DPG conference.

September 27, 2024,Kletterfelsen – Labertalwand Schönhofen Runde von Nittendorf

Great tour despite the muddy and slippery path due to the rain the day before. Beautiful forest path, cool ruins, then along the banks of the Laabe and to top it all off, climbing rocks and the alpine trail.
