The "Elster Perlenweg", whoever knows it, knows how beautiful and varied it is, and if you haven't hiked it yet, you should definitely put it on your hiking agenda!
After 5 hiking tours along the Elster on the Elster Perlenweg we moved down a bit and start in Neumühle. It's supposed to be a sunny day again today with about …

December 13, 2023,Wanderung Neumühle Waldmauspfad

The Elstertal is always worth a hike.
The footbridge over the Rüssdorf Alps would need repairs. But it's not a problem for well-shoed hikers.

May 14, 2026,Elsterperlenweg 🌞 - Neumühle - Rüßdorf

From the railway tunnel area to Lehnamühle it gets strange. The path is signposted as a hiking trail with blue markers and suddenly you encounter signs "Private! Entry forbidden". At the turn-off to the Rüßdorfer Alpen, the path is still signposted, however. It's better to turn off there in the direction of "Alpen". 🤔
