August 30, 2024,Ostro u. Neustädtler Skala

I've had the hiking guide in picture 1 in my hand a few times. Now I've managed to get a second-hand copy in the current edition.

This morning at breakfast we decided on tour no. 4: "On the trail of the past: to the Ostro castle rampart". Short, not much elevation, along the stream...just right at 33°C.

As in the past three years, a visit to a Skala (scale) is a must in 2025 – this time it was the Neustädtler Skala.

The path led us from the parish church of St. Benno in Ostro over the ramparts along the Klosterwasser stream.

To end the day, we took a short walk along the Ostroer Schanze. It was impressive how clearly you could still see the rampart. The path along the Klosterwasser was also beautiful.

The hike went into the Sorbian core area between Bautzen and Kamenz north of the A4. The aim was the Neustadtler scale. For a very leisurely afternoon hike, we can recommend the approx. 2 x (2 + 1/2) km long path along the Klosterwasser, pure nature. However, if you want to burn off calories, you should plan a larger tour, …

The Buchholz Mill is located on the Klosterwasser (Monastery Water). It was here that the miller's wife's lover murdered the miller in 1874. The path over the bridge at Neustädtler Skala in Wiesengrund is closed due to …
