October 23, 2023,Der Sonne so nah: Von der Wüstung Wildungen zum Sonnenstein

Hike from Brehme, past the sports field, the desert and the Wildungen pond and finally Teichholz with the Brehme spring to the Sonnenstein, where, in clear weather, the Skywalk offered a sweeping view over the Eichsfeld to the Göttingen Gleichen. We went back on the bike path past the Schützenhaus to Brehme.

On the way, we passed a "lost place", a former football pitch with toilets😂, then it continued past cattle pastures and …

After we had …
