August 16, 2025,🦉Harz: Teufels👹mauerstieg– Großvaterfelsen 🔄 ab Timmenrode

Timmenrode 🅿️ + ⚡️ for the 🚗 as the starting point for the Teufelsmauer😈steig (ridge trail) to Blankenburg. It felt like being in the Saxon 🇨🇭, with narrow paths and small climbing sections in the sandstone! 👍 Beautiful views. From Blankenburg, the hike continued uphill through mostly healthy 🌳🌳🌳 forest through the Sumpftal valley, where we had a picnic 🥪🍾🍌 …

Very nice hike, mostly on narrow paths and trails and few forest roads. At first I was reminded of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains: sandy soil and rock formations! Great views and foresight, various stamps, a great tour in the East Harz. Also several places to stop for refreshments along the way and benches to rest.

Today the stamp tour led through the Baroque Gardens to Blankenburg Castle. From there we continued to the Otto Ebert Bridge. 🚶‍♂️
The ridge path of the Devil's Wall should not be underestimated 😈

What a varied hike.

In beautiful weather we went through the castle park up to Blankenburg Castle. The views of half-timbered houses and villas, as well as the stepped castle gardens and the park with old trees, made me immediately slow down.
