Trip to the Pirk dam, which is currently experiencing low water levels due to construction work.
The outward journey took the Kammweg and the "Vogtländische Knollensteig", including a few small mistakes. How would Komoot know about the pasture fence near Leubetha, for example 🤷🏼. Then we went back along the Elster cycle path.
