Hello there 🐕🫶😊🥺..

Yes, time flies so quickly... tomorrow we're going home 🤷😲🫤🥰.

So today I took another little walk around the town of Wehlen... saw lots of great rock formations... unfortunately everything was very wet, slippery and muddy😵‍💫😲... and quite cold.

But all in all it was a fantastic holiday with lots of new sights and impressions 🫶🥰🫶.

October 24, 2024,Von Wehlen zum Felsentor im Uttewalder Grund

We wanted to take advantage of the sunny weather today and set off on a tour of the Uttewalder Grund. The destination was the Felsentor. The route was pleasant to walk and the special light of the autumn day set the forest and rocks off beautifully.
That was exactly what we had imagined today.
Komoot recorded the route in an …

Today we made Saxon Switzerland unsafe. In the prospectus "Experience Saxon Switzerland barrier-free" a tour was selected that Thomas could manage without any problems, downloaded the GPX data and started navigating with Komoot. It worked great...we were in Uttenwalder Grund at Felsentor. Impressive what nature produces. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't the best, but true outdoor enthusiasts don't give up a …

That's placed correctly, Komoot messed up almost everyone else. The Uttewalder Grund begins right on the outskirts and signposts indicate the hiking destinations, B 6. Soon rock walls are …

Tip: If you follow the Red Dot/TK8/TK10 trail from the market square and skip the detour to Schlossberg, the tour is even suitable for strollers! Then simply return to Wehlen the same way.

Our tour starts at the parking lot in Wehlen on the banks of the Elbe. We take the paved road to the right and follow
