View of the Brocken from the Evessen Orchards

Highlight • Viewpoint

Route, view Brocken ... everything is wonderful and the route along the Elmrand has its charm, but prefers the forest paths and here I turned back into the forest. At the same time, a few impressions of the route.

In spring or after a downpour, your shoes will soak in the mud here. You will be rewarded with beautiful views of the idyllic Reitlingstal and a narrow, romantic single trail.

At some point, I stumbled across the most beautiful hikes in Lower Saxony on Google and saved some routes back then.

The Elm-Lappwald... never heard of it.
Located near Wolfenbüttel, so not too far from us, you can take a look.

The snow cover didn't grow overnight and yet the A39 around Cremlingen was surprisingly untidy. When a car was parked on the hard shoulder, quite wrecked, there was an immediate taillight disco...

As the time frame (especially given the weather) didn't allow us to go to the Harz today, we went to the Elm today. The parking lot we chose, …
