We took a day hike in Saxon Switzerland- so called because it resembles a little Switzerland in Saxony. This installment deals with that day trip.

Corwin watches little Anouk. He really liked Anouk and didn't really get jealous of her at all.
We're on our way climbing Robber's Mountain, where bandit's used to hide out back in the day.
I'm climbing a ladder through a very tight crevice. I was happy to have the hood on the backpack at this point, knowing that would hit the bottom of a rock before Corwin's head would.
Corwin and I safely emerge from the gap. It was all rather nerve racking and a bit tedious. You tend to worry a bit more when you have your son on your back in these situations, plus it affects your center of gravity in a negative way. After getting to the top of the hill/mountain and taking the back pack off I felt like a veritable billy goat.
Andre's favorite past time is rock climbing. Climbing shear rock cliffs, not a simple hike with ladders and rails that we used to reach the top of Robber's Mountain. So he has lots of nifty climbing equipment. You'll notice that Corwin is wearing a children's climbing harness. It is attached by a rope to Andre's climbing harness. The allowed us to give Corwin a little more freedom on the top of the mountain.
Corwin looks down the chimney of the bandit's fire pit in the cave below.

Magestic views from mountain tops are never as impressive in photos as reality.
A picnic in the forest.

The day ends in a ginger bread village only a handful of miles from the Czech Republic boarder.
