## Abstract

We present a novel reweighting technique to calculate the relative weights in the Lefschetz thimble decomposition of a path integral. Our method is put to work using a $U(1)$ one-link model providing for a suitable testing ground and sharing many features with realistic gauge theories with fermions at finite density. We discuss prospects and future challenges to our method.
