Since I had the day off on Whit Monday, I went back to Rabenau and a bit along the Rote Weißeritz to the dam of the TS Malter and back the same way. The weather was perfect and the new hiking boots mastered their first hike well 🥾😁

Our group of bikers on foot today: We took the Weißeritztalbahn through the Rabenauer Grund to the Malter dam. We walked back along the Rote Weisseritz. The weather was perfect for hiking and enough eggnog in the luggage 😉. There are a few places to stop for refreshments, and a lot of bridges 👌. Beautiful Easter!
