Beautiful Loop in Saxony, Germany.
A wonderful round once around the Horstsee. You start at the parking lot at the Seegasthof and first walk along the south side of the lake. You then reach the north side between the meadow pond and the lake. There is another place to stop at the parish pond before heading through the forest to Wermsdorf and back to the starting point.
