Very nice tour with great views of the Brocken, Wernigerode and Wernigerode Castle. The view from the Rapunzel Tower is particularly beautiful 😎🥾

Unfortunately, the stamping point HWN 31 is no longer there. It looks like it was stolen, as the mount was sawed off and no information about its relocation was left behind. A real shame.

April 1, 2025,Agnesberg (HWN 31) – Scharfenstein (HWN 34) - Christianental (HWN35) - Armeleuteberg (HWN 35) Runde von Wernigerode incl. Altstadt

A great tour. Wernigerode's old town is amazing, with its half-timbered houses, castle, pleasure garden, and much more. The hike is varied and offers great views of Wernigerode and the castle. However, parking is very expensive. One day or one hike isn't enough to explore everything.

Today we didn't go far, because it was Mausi's imperial era.
🥳 🐭👑👑👑
For the third time, we've completed the pass 📖♟️

The weather was gorgeous today, and the Brocken was also visible ⛰️👀
At Scharfenstein (34), Maus got his stamp and then bumped into someone with champagne 🥂

January 6, 2022,Runde von Wernigerode über Armeleuteberg und Agnesberg

This tour was suggested to us by Komoot. We can highly recommend them. Our highlights were the Kaiserturm with its great view, the wildlife park and the view from the Agnesberg to the castle. The hourly trains at Wernigerode station are ideal for arrival and departure.

Actually, for a change, no rain today ☔️
So off we go and get out... Wernigerode Castle has been on my to-do list for a long time and was supposed to be today's destination, among other things...
I've already noticed on the last hikes 🥾 that the viewpoints on the cliffs usually only show one object..."Father Brocken." But the tourists …
