Highlight • Structure

You can easily read the lettering from the dog section, when you sit on it it is a resting place😄

February 22, 2025,Runde - untere und obere Sachsenburg (gelbes ▲)

A small loop from the lower to the upper Sachsenburg and a small detour through the forest towards Oldisleben.
In wet weather, the eastern paths of the loop are quite muddy.
There are a few other well-developed forest paths, but unfortunately they are not yet marked on the maps (Komoot, OSM, Locus).
