The third day was quite uneventful. It was a good distance to manage with good weather conditions as it wasn’t too hot. Also, I learned in the meantime that it’s best to start walking in the morning to cover 10km in 2hrs without breakfast. Then, a small break with breakfast, followed by another hour, then lunch and the final part. I always aim to be at the accommodation by 3pm to have a buffer, have time to look around and relax a bit.
Riesa as town didn’t really impress me, so not really worth a trip. The highlight was to cross the river with the ferry and the chat with the captain 👨✈️
