September 20, 2025,Wanderung Ziegenrück zur Linkenmühle

Today, we started off on easy trails through the Sormitzgrund valley via Paska to the mill ferry. The weather was great, and the ferry was well-frequented. The return trip to the Teufelskanzel (Devil's Pulpit) partially ended in dense blackberry bushes. Not recommended. After a walk through the power lines from the old days, we headed for a cold drink. 😺🌞🍺
