April 23, 2024,Geo-Wanderweg Sassenreuth, Kalvarienberg 643m mit 25m Aussichtsturm Thurndorf, Oberpfalz

forest, wide view, a bit of history and geology, colored earths with economic significance until the middle of the 20th century, it was beautiful
the Thieves' Path is straight and rather long(boring), I couldn't find the parking space marked at Sassenreuth, there are more new single-family houses there
