July 21, 2024,Runde St.Wehlen, Höllengrund, steinerner Tisch, Bastei, Rathen, Elbe (Sachsen - Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge)

Great tour in a predominantly shady, wooded area.

Starting in the town of Wehlen in a car park right on the Elbe, the climb began immediately.

When we arrived in Wehlener Grund, the coolness of the forest greeted us. Together with the beautiful landscape, the climb to Höllengrund was barely noticeable.

From here on, however, it became challenging.
