August 14, 2024,Elster-Schanze – Albert Bad Runde von Adorf (Vogtl)

The first part of the route in/from Adorf is a bit challenging due to frequent uphill and downhill climbs.

In Bad Elster after the König Albert Bad, you should use the Elster cycle path to avoid having to make a route correction through forest undergrowth like I did.

With the exception of a short detour through the moor (stay on the way if you are not barefooted), highly recommended. The absolute highlight: the forest spring. Excellent cakes and pies, very friendly!).
