Highlight • Viewpoint

The Upper and the Lower Sachsenburg. Like two sentinels, the two fortifications rise up on the so-called Wächterberg, right next to the Unsrtu.

January 16, 2022,Fight #gravel with #gravel - Über die Hängeseilbrücke und durch die Hohe Schrecke

Unfortunately, due to other appointments made by my hiking fairy, no hike together worked today. Even though my Garmin had recommended 4 days of rest after yesterday's Gravel(tor) Tour, it was clear that the coal donkey would be used again today.

When scrolling through the saved tours, I quickly had an attractive destination in mind: the suspension bridge in Braunsbedra.
