Andrea und Huskys 🐺
June 19, 2026, Rest Area at the Weiße Göltzsch

Shady resting spot with a pointed roof, next to it stands a single bench. Last chance for a rest before crossing a wooden bridge and then going steeply upwards.

From the trout pond, a beautiful stretch of nature on the cycle path leads to the viaduct below the Werda reservoir.

The rest area lies deep in the valley below, beneath the mighty trees. It's usually pleasantly shady in summer.
