Explore hiking in the Ore Mountains.
Friday, April 30th, 2021 – Altzella Abbey A little warm up for the Ore Mountains tour the next day, brought us to the Altzella Abbey ruins. Saturday, May 1st, 2021 – Ore Mountains Wenn man die Berge immer leise rufen hört, muss man manchmal einfach diesem Ruf folgen. Deshalb wollte ich unbedingt mal wieder ins …
Actually we had planned a hike in the Saxon Switzerland for this Saturday. However, since the visit for which we had planned this hike had to be postponed, we decided to go to the Ore Mountains after much discussion and ideas.
At some point came this crazy idea to me, just go hiking a few days in a row. Every day a piece, every day a little further. So I picked out a route: 8 days, every day between 10 and 20 km. So: Oneway Aue – Karlovy Vary, please. Over the Ore Mountains, through forests, passing lakes and even through an industrial area (wuää), down to Karlovy Vary. While the first three days were in constant rain, we could look forward to a little better weather from the fourth day. It does not have to be 30 ° C when hiking, but it does not have to rain either. The last two days we were allowed to enjoy sunshine, which made the low temperatures very pleasant.Every morning when I woke up, my legs felt heavy, hurt and I thought that I would not be able to get through today’s kilometers. But to my surprise, the pain disappeared after the first few meters and I could continue happily. True to the motto: A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Too early in the morning and too late in the evening. Unfortunately, we could not visit the ruin in Frauenstein, but it was still a very nice route to hike. In the forest and between fields the way led up and down, again and again, as it is normal in the Ore Mountains.
