Historic Vineyard Slope (Station 9)

Highlight • Historical Site

Here a hike through the Geo-path with the great nature and the beautiful views to the north to the Elm and to the south to the Harz with the Brocken is worthwhile

Today on the road alone .... we went to Jerxheim to the Heeseberg. The geoppath is a short 4km route with some sights for example the tower built in 1912 or the Heese 5 restaurant. Except for one encounter with a rider, I was on my own. At first it was very slippery due to the frost, especially on the …

@Thore !!!
You didn't promise too much! After your impressive pictures of the geopath, I had to go there in the spring.
Thanks to your tip, I spent a unique day here! For the first time I saw the "dandelion". Overwhelming. And I wanted to go to Mallnow on the Oder.
Thank you very much!

Short hike in March?
Well, the Heeseberg with its Adonis adonis is traditionally a good choice.

From Jerxheim, take the signposted road up the Heeseberg to the large hiking parking lot at Heese 5. I'm not going up alone, and the parking lot isn't empty either...
Okay, at least the "uphill escort" in their fine clothes has other plans and …

Today we went to Heeseberg (in the Harz foothills south of Schöningen. There are great views of the landscape here.
After it was so beautiful yesterday, we had a feeling of sun and warmth for today, but unfortunately that wasn't the case!
The Heeseberg is a nature reserve with former quarries and many rare meadow flowers. We did see Adonis, …

Actually, I had planned a combined tour "NSG Heeseberg - NSG Höckel & Hahntal" again for this year's Adonis flower season, but today's time window was not suitable for it, so there are 2 small rounds today.

March 16, 2024,Der Heeseberg ~ Unscheinbar und doch soooo schön😍👍🏼🌤️📷

When you arrive, the Heeseberg looks rather inconspicuous and you have no idea how beautiful this ridge is. We've been to Heeseberg a few times and it's always beautiful.😍

Today we spontaneously went to NSG Heeseberg near Jerxheim. Until now, the long journey “overland” had put us off for the short hike. The circular hiking trail as a geopath begins at Heese5, an event location, within sight of the climbable observation tower. What followed was a dream: quarries, wonderful single trails and meadow paths, viewpoints, Adonis florets, information boards …
