March 10, 2024,Märzenbecherblüte. 2024

Nature is waking up, there are visitors from Quedlinburg who love hiking, so nothing would be better than getting some fresh air. Going to the Märzenbecherwiesen on Sunday was risky because of migration, but it was ok. The forest was badly affected and at times the path was a bit muddy and impassable. Still nice though.

Looking for March cups in wintry conditions? Yes, and please not in the sun and in mid-March, when the local people "catch themselves". There were just so many people on the road that you still wanted to say hello..... past the "home bank" that a hiker of the past had christened that 👍

Blatant storm damage in the forest and vandalism on the Märzenbecher meadow with deep tire tracks. Ad is out.
The view on the Lieben Berg is in the middle of a field and probably not really accessible if something is growing there.

March 13, 2022,🚶Runde von Hohnstein ins Polenztal 🏞️📷😍☀️

A nice varied tour that I picked out on today's sunny Sunday! It starts right away with the warm-up 😁 with an ascent, where you look down on Hohnstein Castle (!) at the end! And it was clear to me that there was a real migration of peoples in the Polenztal. 😂
