Ruins of Isenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

A well-preserved ruin that gives you a good idea of what the castle looked like back then. In summer, the sun-warmed stone walls invite you to rest in the middle of the forest.

Bridge Over the Zwickauer Mulde

Highlight • Bridge

With a bit of luck, you can watch the fly fishermen at work from this bridge. And this position on the bridge is always a great photo opportunity!

A very idyllic route, but unfortunately you end up walking along a highway.

A very impressive hike with the Raubrittersteig as the highlight 😃

...here too, unfortunately - the Raubrittersteig is slowly becoming overgrown and Wikusawa is also rotting away.

This hike wasn't exactly easy.

After the storm, the path toward the Prinzenhöhle cave was blocked by trees. To cross the hollow to the Poppenwald side, we walked along the road. By chance, a small trail led us up toward Isenburg and back to Stein Castle via the Ritterstieg trail.

The tour is great, but you should be very sure-footed, because part of the path (Raubrittersteig) is very steep and hardly paved. Not for the faint of heart!

Another very nice round to end our hiking weekend. The weather was better today and we were able to take a quick dip in the hollow (but it was extremely cold in the water today) 😁
