I am heading for the small town of Kurort Rathen

From there, I will hike up to the famous Bastei Bridge

aaaaa

But I have to cross the river first

aaaaa

Since it’s such a sunny day, there are lots of other people waiting to cross

aaaa

It takes a while, but I finally enter the Sächsische Schweiz national park

aaaa

Where I am confronted by….another river?!

aaaaa

Bravely I press on

aaaa

As I continue to climb

aaaa

The hot weather starts to make me feel extremely odd…..
