The Harz girl had to get a taste of the Harz air again and so we were drawn back to my old home town of Thale. The area around Stecklenberg is definitely beautiful and highly recommended for hiking routes.
There used to be a forest pool below the Wurmbach valley in Stecklenburg, to which we always walked from Thale through …

July 28, 2024,Lauenburg und Stecklenburg bei Stecklenberg

A short tour around Stecklenberg for 2 stamps from the castles and palaces booklet. The Stecklenburg directly above the town (steep climb 😥 ), a little further on are the remains of the Lauenburg, with a sword in the stone and a lookout tower with a great view over the countryside.
Then we went back along the Wurmbach.

Through the wilderness leads the way to its desolate ruins."

Today's tour took us to the Lauenburg and then to the Stecklenburg. A nice tour which is also suitable for children. The way up leads through a picturesque valley and if you pay close attention, you will also discover …

May 4, 2024,🧙‍♀️🌳an der Burgruine Lauenburg… mystisch und magisch!🔮🧿

The first natural wonder of the Harz that is definitely worth a look is the linden tree on the Lauenburg castle ruins. As the name suggests, the linden tree, often referred to as the "witch tree", grows on the ruins of Lauenburg Castle. To be more precise, the linden tree forms a gate with its roots and protrudes with its …
