February 1, 2025,01.02.2025 Wanderung - Göritzhain - Zusammenfluß Chemnitzfluß in die Mulde - Chemnitzberg

I took over our tour today from Micha and Holger. There are parking spaces at the Chemnitz Bridge. Now we follow the hiking trail towards Wechselburg. It always goes along the Chemnitz - sometimes a little higher up, sometimes at the same height. This is how we reach the confluence of the Chemnitz and the Zwickauer Mulde. The Göhren viaduct …

There, we enjoyed a delicious ice cream in the market square before heading back past the train station. On the way home, we took the …

Today a "classic round" - started right at the front door - about 1 km is missing because I only started my watch in the forest... 😉 The round is always nice - at any time of the year. There was a lot going on in Wechselburg, as always at the weekend. During the week it is wonderfully quiet there. …

🥾🐾 Today it was pretty hard for me to run. 🥵 Maybe it was the warm weather change with well over 10 °C (I was still wearing winter clothes and was sweating like a 🐷 ). But you're not a young hopper anymore, it was constantly up and down, and that makes your calves rather tired👴😉😅.
Holger was jumping and …
