Day 39: Entering Poland

Artificial lake for glass production in the raised bog area

Today's hiking trails were mainly biking trails. Sunny but sometimes it looked like rain!

Hiking up Pytlacke Kameni

Blueberries - I wish it would be later in the year...

Bridge over the border river between Czech Republic and Poland, making my way towards the Krkonose National Park

 

Day 38: Liberec

Muddy paths - not nice! And then I was wearing gloves until afternoon... not my favorite hiking day, despite nice forests!

Bunkers are everywhere in the forest

I've seen those cups on fences everywhere, sometimes the entire fence!!!

Elephant rocks 

View from Jested (1012 m)

Museum in Liberec

Day 37: Little peaks

Kreibitzbach

Kaltenberg- I decided not to walk up the view-tower ;)

Castle Tolstejn

View from Hochwald  (750 m)

Day 36: Car wash

Wet from above plus the typical car wash, hiking on small overgrown paths. And all that only to avoid the official border crossing.  I bet nobody would have cared if I would have walked into the Czech Republik...

Again, 3 fire salamander in a row. But this time much more agile, trying to hide from me!

Prebischtor - very popular and very busy

Hiking trail deluxe!

A wet day...

Nice information about wood transport over wooden channels

View from Rudolfvu Kamen 484 m :)

View from Marienfels, which has a little pavilion on top

 

Day 35: Nearly leaving Germany

Kuhstall 

Different kind of rock-art

Yep, it rained!

Day 34: Dangerous path

 

View in the morning from my camp spot

Lots of staircases everywhere

Schrammstein view

Breite Kluft view with lots of dead trees

Goldstein view

Don't use this trail because of dead trees - seems like nobody cares when they don't give you an alternative!

Day 33: Lazy day

Ferry over the Elbe river between Königstein and Halbestadt

View from Lilienstein

 

Hiking up to the castle Neurathen, looking down on the Elbe river

Huge grotto

Stop hiking early to relax with a good view
