This is a fairly straightforward climb over wooden beams. The view at the end of the short way to the Hetzdorfer Viaduct and the Flöha are unique!

September 2, 2021,Hetzdorfer Viadukt – Blick auf die Augustusburg Runde von Hetzdorf (Flöhatal)

Today's destination was the Hetzdorf Viaduct. We started at Hetzdorf breakpoint. From there up to the viaduct. We had a great view of the Lössnitztal.

This was built in 1602 with a …

After it had stormed all night, the prospects were rather poor.
At least the rain let up and so we could start a little tour.
Once there, the sun even showed up 🌞
The fact that we were able to go on the whole tour was great and full of experiences 😊

Very nice and entertaining round. With a view of the impressive Hetzdorf Viaduct. Then ascent and crossing of the Flöha valley via this viaduct. From time to time (especially on public holidays) the snack bar at the upper end of the viaduct is also open.
