April 21, 2023,Hundshübel entlang der Talsperre Eibenstock

Start at the free car park just before entering Hundshübel. Along the Eibenstock dam through a beautiful landscape to the Hundshübler circular trail. A detour to the vantage point on the Viechzig is a must. Nice view over the dam to the Auersberg. Continue past the Nadlerhaus, turn left in a wide arc back to the starting point.
