The tour started from the hotel in the city center via the so-called Lustgartenpark to the car park where the car was parked overnight for free. The owner of a wool shop opposite the hotel actually lured us into his really great wool shop. He managed to get us to buy really pretty, high-quality wool! My hiking friend's mother will …

From Wernigerode we went collecting a few stamps today. We went via the Lustgarten to the Austbergturm near Benzingrode. There is also a beautiful church in the village that had to be seen. Then came the steep climb to Stapenberg. This climb was hard and demanded a lot from us (up to 27% gradient). No matter, stamp, wipe your mouth …
