A hike around the GDR without any record ambitions, just the desire to experience something, to challenge themselves, to get to know the country and its people - their own country, their own people - better. Six men, aged between 25 and 40, set off on a hike, curious about everything they will encounter along the way between Cottbus and Zittau - nature, sights, people. The viewer gradually realizes that there is actually a sensation behind this seemingly natural, visibly unspectacular, cheerful process. This is already the 13th stage of the planned hike around the country. Memories of previous stages make the scale clear. The men, who we have already got to know quite well over the five days, manage the daily 25 to 30 kilometers with such ease because they are passionate athletes: Mountaineers in Saxon Switzerland.
