Today we set off for our vacation in Zorge at 5:00 a.m.

We parked in a free, medium-sized sandy parking lot. We then walked a circular route to two stamp boxes. Of course, I hid some hiking worms on this tour as well.

It was a short but enjoyable tour.

The second round of the day, and it's raining again 😚, we're not made of sugar.
We wanted to take a short break at the Sachsensteinhütte, but unfortunately, it was occupied. Unusual people filled the rest of the benches with their backpacks as we came up 🤨
There are some like that, but there are others too 🌝
We parked …

The time has finally come. I've survived the winter drought and finally have my first vacation. I'm spending it with my daughter in the Harz Mountains, hiking to the Harz Hiking Badge stamping points. Her dog is my buddy; we're a great team and rock the hikes and the elevation gains.
But before hobby comes duty, and today that consisted …

On the way home, I passed by Neuhof and decided to quickly "pick up" the two local stamps. They're close to each other, but far from other stamps or points of interest, making them difficult to include in a longer tour.
