This was a very scenic run around Oelsa, near Dresden. It had everything from great views to sandstone rocks to trails.

A friend of mine was kind enough to show me his preferred region for doing trail runs. So we headed out in the afternoon and ended up doing a good 2 hour loop, for a total of 19 km. The run was really gorgeous, with blue sky and perfect sunshine. We ran a bit through fields in Oelsa and at end through the protected nature preserve of Dippoldiswalder Heide (Wikipedia entry only available in German!). The highest point of the run was Lerchenberg, with 425 m.
