Today, I was exploring a completely different part of the Ore Mountains and noticed how beautiful our Ore Mountains are. What hidden places there are. Everything is well signposted. I haven't seen everything yet... Thanks to the suggested tours in the app, I always stay curious... 👋🏻🍀

Last day in the institution. Packing things and a little tour to the Himmelmühle, where we are celebrating our farewell today. While my team chose the direct route, I hopped over the Paradiesmühle. I still had to explore this lost place before going home. And it kept its promise.

On the way …

Since I had plenty of time after breakfast - things only get serious at 3 p.m. - I went to the castle ruins near Hohenwendel today.
Nice climb 🥵 I flew twice because of these thorny tendrils on the barely identifiable path
