Plessenburg Inn (HWN 7)

Fantastic hike through the Ilsetal in the footsteps of Heinrich Heine. The food at the Waldgasthof Plessenburg was delicious and filling (plessenburg.de/). In a small but fine hut, we were …

Schloteberg Summit (470 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Schloteberg is 470 m high and is actually reserved for mountain bikers. But the partially rugged path over the ridge is also fun with snowshoes! There are also great views to enjoy.

Schlotberg Ridge Trail

Highlight • Trail

Mountain bikers have priority on the Kammweg, but there is also a wonderful single trail for hikers.
The highlight is the Schlotberg, the rugged cliff is a great resting place with a great view

December 31, 2023,Wanderrunde - Plessenburg / Ferninandstein / Wolfsklippe

On the second day of hiking we hiked a lap, with a stop at the Plessenburg inn. It was a nice round! 😃

We must draw your attention to the fact that a section of the trail (highlights “Kammweg” and “Kammweg/Trail”) is not suitable for hikers because this is only intended for mountain bikers. See picture no. 36. Although there …

December 31, 2023,Kleine Runde zum Gasthaus Plessenberg ( lecker Erbsensuppe🤤)

Please note the last photo, the path marked in red is a mountain bike route, there was only a notice that mountain bikers have the right of way, but no ban on hiking. Definitely no people should hike here.
Therefore, if anyone wants to hike the route, please do not take the mountain bike route. We were lucky nothing happened, …

July 13, 2024,Rundweg von Oehrenfeld mit 4 Stempeln 😏

Although the tour has a lot of elevation, it is manageable. At the beginning you walk for a while on a mountain bike trail. Be careful! After that it becomes lonely, idyllic and just beautiful. This expanse in the East Harz is simply fantastic. Great views again and again! At a good time you can take a break at the …

July 15, 2024,Schindelstieg – Neue Wanderhütte Runde von Oehrenfeld

A circular tour on mostly wide and sunny paths. The forest is growing everywhere with foxgloves, blackberries and small birch trees... it will probably take time... A few small paths are only intended for mountain bikers... you have to look a bit... It's worth stopping at the Plessenburg forest restaurant... but then you might have to turn the tour around🤗....

Today it started again early 🥱 almost exactly half past 7 from Oehrenfeld. First mostly a forest road to Plessenburg🦌 for stamp 7. After a short breakfast🥯 the path became a little more interesting and I got closer and closer to the chunks. Next stamp then the 16 Ferdinand stone.
Always the chunks to the right, we continued to the …

When angels want to hike 🌝
When I picked up my dear sister, it was raining 🙄, great. We arrived in Darligerode and waited 10 minutes and it really stopped, at 8:00 sharp. So we put on our hiking boots and off we went on the ridge path for mountain bikes, luckily no one came 😗😚 Of course we were …
