😎📍The start at the forest car park🅿️ was uncomplicated, and the well-signposted paths led us straight into the beautiful nature. A real highlight was the Armeleuteberg guesthouse (we stopped off here today). We took a well-deserved break here. The food was not only delicious, but the service was also excellent - the friendly staff made our stay a special experience. …

Als ich aus dem Auto sprang, war noch alles normal. Die Luft roch nach Abenteuer, meine Pfoten kribbelten vor Vorfreude, und Frauchen hatte unseren Wanderproviant griffbereit. Ich reckte mich, schüttelte mein Fell und war bereit für eine tolle Tour.

We follow the signpost "Waldgasthaus Armeleuteberg" through the cold valley until we come to the "Hexenstieg" turnoff, which we follow in the direction of Wernigerode. First on a forest path, then on a forest road, …
