I happened to see a sign for the granite quarry while peeing, so I stretched my legs a bit.
I think that was quite a workout...
Definitely a great hiking trail and very interesting for quarry fans like me 😊👍🏼
There's also a railway bike path here (for my favorite sister) 😊.

Lots of people discovered the quarries for swimming. As far as I know, that's actually forbidden. We passed many quarries and the former blacksmith's shop, passed the Totenstein (and also up) to …

I was surprised again what great spots of nature there are. The quarries are filled with water and if you are lucky they are turquoise. The walls of the quarry tower gigantic into the air. This looks really great. There is a lookout tower and a restaurant on the Hochstein, both of which are worth visiting. When the weather is …

Today, in beautiful weather, we went to the Königshain mountains. We were looking forward to climbing the tower. But no luck. 🙁 It was closed. The friendly service staff at the mountain lodge made no exceptions; they only open when the weather is nice. Hmm... nicer than today, at this time of year, is there anything nicer? 🤔 Otherwise, it …
