In the Harz for a few days. To get used to it, we took the Burgberg cable car up to the Burgberg. We then went down on foot.

A short tour to the Harzburg Cave. We were actually supposed to go back with the tree suspension railway, but €15 was too expensive for me.

We originally planned to take the Burgberg cable car up – but when we learned after 15 minutes of queuing that it would take over an hour after buying the ticket, the decision was quickly made: We'll walk!
