Hohe Linde Spoil Heap

There is something fascinating about the Kegelhalde. It is not fenced and you can also get close below. Looks like a surreal landscape.

Unfortunately the tower was closed. Damage to the parapet does not allow an ascent. That will certainly take years again... 😏
Otherwise a nice tower. But why did he get a stamp from the HWN...?
No matter, stamp in the booklet and good.

Went on a stamp hunt for the Harzer hiking needle today with grandson Benni on the way to the Harz vacation. Were today at the Moltkewarte near Sangerhausen, HWN 209
