Alsterwanderweg in the Rodenbeker Quellental

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

He stretches for many kilometers, the Alsterwanderweg. This section is especially nice if you are looking for the peace of the forest. One is never here alone, but forest and water dominate here clearly.

Today I hiked through the Wittmoor to the Rodenbekerquelltal and along the Alster hiking trail. A nice varied round. Worth hiking

Sun ☀️ = Off to nature 🥾

The starting point is the final stop in Poppenbüttel.

After just a few meters it goes into the green 🌳

A route that I will definitely run again in spring 🌱 or summer 😎.

🌿 Today I did a really beautiful round starting from Poppenbüttel: started through the Alstertal, passed the quiet Kupferteich 💧, then enjoyed the vastness and silence in the Wittmoor 🌾
Via Duvenstedt, it continued into the fantastic Rodenbeker Quellenthal – small streams, dense forest, simply magical ✨🌳
Perfect mix of water, moor, and forest – exactly what I needed 🙌🥾

Although some streets end with "Barg" at the Panzerberg, which means mountain, I could hardly find any elevations worth mentioning. The Mellingburg is also only on a small hill, …

October showed its best side again today. The weather was perfect for a lovely hike close to home. It was my first time at Wittmoor, and it certainly won't be my last.
