July 6, 2024,Im Wildenburger Land

I chose tour 13 from “Hikes for the Soul” by Dorothee Bastian. From the car park at the Wildenburger Hof inn, the path leads past a former water-powered mill and the Cottorf moated castle, which is inhabited by the count's family, and to the left into a forest path. An ascending path through a spruce forest leads up to the …

The tour was very nice. However, the starting point is not a hiking car park, but private. It is better to start the tour from the sports field.

March 21, 2022,Wanderung, 21.03.2022, Runde um das Wasserschloß Crottorf, die Anna Kapelle und die Burg Wildenburg

Beautiful hike through the Wildenburger Land. The starting point was the moated castle of Crottorf (unfortunately it was still closed). We continued on the witches' trail to the Holy Cross Chapel and the Anna Chapel (red chapel) in Friesenhagen. Steeped in history, this site was an execution site for convicted witches in the 1700s, creepy enough! 🤔. Glad this dark …

The tour requires a certain level of fitness because there is a lot of uphill and downhill going. But you can enjoy fantastic views.
The tour is also suitable for prams and dogs
