The Trudenstein is still below the Hohnekamm and is included in the system of the Harzer hiking nobility with the number 17. Even if not so high; the view is still great and a bit of climbing is also necessary.

July 20, 2023,Drei Annen Hohne – Hohne-Eiche Runde von Drei Annen Hohne

The early bird catches the worm, so we set off at 7 a.m. and were happy that it didn't rain as announced. Of course, that came when we were exactly halfway up in the middle of the forest and the path suddenly became a stream, because it was pouring cats and dogs! We got totally wet and if we're unlucky, …

🚶‍♂️ Drei Annen Hohne – Trudenstein – Leistenklippe

Even at the start in Drei Annen Hohne, a moment of goosebumps: With a loud hiss and roar, a steam locomotive rolls into the station. The smell of coal, the rhythm of the wheels – a spectacle to be enjoyed anew every time.

Was kann es Schöneres geben, als wenn Frauchen nach Hause kommt und einen spontanen kurzen Wanderurlaub präsentiert? Genau: wenn dazu die Familie auch noch frei hat. So ist unser Rudel heute also wirklich mächtig geworden und es ging mit Herrchen @Rainer Brettschneider, unserem Frido, meiner Freundin Hydra, Frauchens Schwester Ute El und ihrem Mann @Matthias El …

August 1, 2022,HWN Tour 5: Abendspaziergang Drei Annen Hohne

Short hike in the evening on well-known paths. I passed the following stamp locations (which I already had in the booklet): 15 (Leistenklippe), 17 (Trudenstein), 174 (Hohnehof) and the new stamp 9945 (special stamp Dandelion Discovery Path).

Difficult route! Beginning and end of a good path to running, from the first stamping point it feels like it goes straight through the forest. Due to a lot of storm damage, the path is not really recognizable. Later a lot of roots and large stones and even on the way back we had to climb a lot over tree …

I've been hiking on the Hohnekamm several times in the last 4 years. But I am increasingly horrified when I see how quickly a landscape changes. Four years ago the cliffs and the paths were still lined with trees, but now you have the feeling of walking through an apocalyptic film. All the water we waded through flowed en masse …

Immediately, added another tour, because we had a big milestone in mind, 150 stamps (Kaiserschuh) and what can we say, done!
There were a lot of small nature trails on this tour, we love it!
After the end of the tour, we were proud of what we had achieved! In 1-2 weeks we'll get our deserved wages, our Kaiserschuh badge …
