Greiz; Sophienkreuz, Pulverturm (7.4km)
Run: 02/01/2025

This tour starts at the car park at the roundabout in Greiz. The car park is free (Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., 2 hours, parking disc), and there is an electric car charging station. The first stop is Greizer Park. This can be crossed from south to north as desired. At the end of 2024/beginning …

The lake in the park is currently being dredged and cleared of mud. Therefore, the northern entrance to the park is closed and it is not possible to walk around it. Otherwise, a perfect autumnal walk and super delicious cake in the Old Kitchen House. Always a real recommendation

Of course I only did one classic round ... Greizer old town, Greizer Park, white cross and over the powder tower back into town. It should have been about ten kilometers. The detour to Reichenbach was made by car because I forgot to finish Komoot 😉

With beautiful weather today in Greiz... I found the park pond unusually empty of water. But the work isn't finished yet.
Then on to the White Cross... it's nice to have it up there again.

October 1, 2021,Das ist jetzt nicht wahr, oder? Feierabendrunde zur Ausstellung, zum Pulverturm, zum Grabmal der Familie Arnold, zum Weißen Kreuz und durch den Greizer Park.

I really wanted to see the caricature exhibition "This is not it, is it?" in the Greizer Sommerpalais before it closes on October 3rd, 21st.
Since the weather was so beautiful, I added a little hike to it.
The exhibition was really worth it.
Then we went through the park to the powder tower. From here it is not far …
