October 23, 2022,Elfenstein (HWN 120) – Elfenstein Runde von Bad Harzburg

Recommended tour, right now the whole forest is glowing 🍁🍁🍂 at the beginning the ascent is hard but it's worth it, because only a few walk the narrow path, it's a bit overgrown. Due to time constraints, we didn't manage the whole wildkatzenstieg and there's a special stamp for HWN at the Kunstcafe 😉

The tour was worth it again, the Harz is beautiful even in autumn! The beginning begins with a steep and enchanted hiking trail that is probably not used much. But you will be rewarded with an amazing view! The cafe is worth it. Rustic and cozy. I can recommend the saltet caramel ice cream with caramel sauce!

First hiked a lap to the Elfenstein, then used the voucher from Father's Day and took the cable car up the Burgberg. Looked at the monument and the remains of the castle on the castle hill. Then we went back via the treetop path.
