May 28, 2022,Großvaterfelsen – Fuchsbau Runde von Blankenburg (Harz)

A beautiful hike that is very reminiscent of the Schrammsteine in Saxon Switzerland.
The way back leads across fields, paddocks and orchards.
An absolute recommendation.
The area around the "Hamburg Coat of Arms" in particular invites you to have a picnic. But the clubhouse at the soccer field also has delicious homemade cakes ☕ 👌😊

I started the second part of the way in Blankenburg to get to Thale. I quickly canceled Thale as a goal. After a nice start at the "grandmother" first traffic jam at the grandfather's vantage point,: - (((. From then on you could only drift with the flood of hikers, it was a little frustrating to dodge oncoming ridge paths, …

June 3, 2024,Über die Teufelsmauer bei Blankenburg (Harz) und über Cattenstedt zurück

Today we went to the Teufelsmauer again.
The Blankenburg - Timmenrode section is supposed to be so beautiful.
And so I planned a hike there.

My photos are once again a mixed bag.
I hope I can still show you the beauty of nature and inspire you to go on this hike.
The ridge path over the Teufelsmauer is challenging, …

May 30, 2022,Teufelsmauer👹

Today we started again directly at the pension and it went steadily uphill to the Calviusberg. The unfamiliar vertical meters made me breathe a lot. From there past the saw mill pond and silver hut pond in the direction of Cattensted, where a heavy shower caught us. Then on to Timmenrode to the start of the Teufelsmauer. We chose the …

November 3, 2024,Rundtour Blankenburg Teufelsmauer 👺 bis Hamburger Wappen und zurück

Today we went on a trip to the Harz Mountains after a long time.
Our destination was Blankenburg to hike a bit along the Devil's Wall.
The weather was perfect and we then went to the Hamburg coat of arms.
Autumn showed its most beautiful side again today, so we really enjoyed the hike.

May 10, 2025,Teufelsmauer Südhang, Timmenrode und Cattenstedt

From the Upper Mill in Blankenburg, we head through the baroque gardens to the Devil's Wall, where the Grandfather Rock awaits our ascent, but we'll skip that today. We also skip the ridge path—it's too strenuous with the dog. So we take the path along the southern slope, up and down over roots, until, after 4 km, we reach the …

Today, after visiting my mother's old people's home, I went alone to Blankenburg for a Teufeksmauer tour before I was able to take our grandson Max with me in the afternoon.
Felizitas checked out her cough visit at home.
Starting with Max, I went to Louisenburg first, I didn't have the HWN yet. Below at the crossroads I found something …
