Beautiful Saxon Switzerland

How curiosity turned into an addiction of exploration
Explore hiking to the Winterstein.
After it didn’t work out two weeks ago, on this day a buddy from Bavaria, whom we visited in July to have a hike in the Alps, came to visit us, because he has never seen the Saxon Switzerland before.
Today was supposed to be a special day with a special challenge. A 22 km hike? No, that’s not a challenge anymore. Carrying about 6 kg on your back? I want to get used to it, with tendency to carry even a bit more. Over a thousand meters of altitude? That’s more like it. Keeping the heart rate below 160? That could be really difficult, or is good preparation everything?

Since it is not worth driving very far in bad weather, we decided to take a walk through Saxon Switzerland.
“You are crazy!”When getting up early at four, hiking through the dark forest in the rain and climbing rocks to watch a sunrise is crazy, I like it to be, because I was also rewarded for it!
