Because it's so beautiful today☀️🌞🫶, I'm going on a second tour...all isolated stamps...but I need them too. There were some great hiking trails up to the Elfenstein...I was very brave here too today and went all the way up🙄🫣☺️. The weather was great...unfortunately it was so full at the cafe that I decided...to go home and enjoy my cappuccino in …

In itself a great route and one worth seeing! Unfortunately we failed on the way to Brautstein, which you can hardly see and the paths are catastrophic. Everything was overgrown and no longer an adventure. So we had no choice but to turn back. Even the dogs had to fight. Nettles, thorny bushes, fallen trees.

December 29, 2021,Bad Harzburg: fixe Wanderung auf den Elfenstein (HWN 120)

Uncomplicated ascent to Elfenstein, from a small parking lot for hikers. The window frame on the Harzburg window was probably kidnapped.
The well-known Café Winuwuk is nearby.

On Sunday at there was hardly any cps reception around Ilsenburg. It was constantly gone and I only had to do with it to reasonably record the tour.

We started at the cute little café Winuwuk, which is very nicely laid out and has great cakes :)). You can also see an art exhibition there and catch a special stamp. …
