Highlight (Segment) • Monument

As part of the Upper Harz water shelf, an impressive structure. Especially in view of the fact that the whole thing was built only with human and animal power.

Nice atmosphere by the pond. The pond is quite large and cannot be completely overlooked from all sides. Therefore, different impressions always arise depending on the perspective. At the moment …

Because I couldn't sleep this morning, I set off at 8:15 a.m. On the way there, the car thermometer showed -1.5°C. My mother kept saying "Don't make such a fuss, you're not made of sugar." That probably had more to do with the rain, but the words still resonate.
I'm so glad I set off so early. The frost in …

Clausthal-Zellerfeld today. First always along some moats, which had to be overcome. Then further up to Eselsplatz and Mangelhalber Tor. The first two stamps of a total of 6 today. From here we continued to the Braunseck Hütte. In addition to another stamp, we also found a hiking stone that went with us a bit. He then found a new …

Lynx tracks and flooded paths !! Today a discovery and adventure tour to my taste. I not only discovered the 4 stamps 128, 137, 138 and 145 of the HWN, but also tracks of the Harzer Lynx. I had respect and a strange feeling in my stomach even though I only saw the footprints in the snow. The paths were …

It's nice when komoot and the signposts say the same thing, but unfortunately there weren't really 2 paths and I had to go back.

The circular hike near Buntenbock was a true nature experience. For approximately 22 kilometers, the trail led through colorful, fragrant meadows and along narrow, idyllic paths – perfect for escaping everyday life. The diverse landscape and tranquil atmosphere made the tour a special treat. Particularly impressive were the numerous lakes along the route, which – in my opinion – are …

Today we went for a little walk to Buntenbock. From the car park we first went to the Huttaler Widerwaage. My next stop was the Schmidts memorial straight ahead.
On to Braunseck and had a quick rest there.
Past the Bärenbrucher Teich we went to my last stop on this route, the Kuckholzklippe.
After my cramps in Garmisch last week, …
