August 3, 2022,Wanderung HWN 83+33

Parked at the church in Benzingerode, where there is also a small playground.
Then hiked to HWN33 with a great view from the tower at the top.
Climb a bit narrow but worth it.
From there we continued to the HWN83 on the Stapenberg, it wasn't far, but with a 22% incline and 30°C 🥵 really hard.

The hike to the Austbergturm was definitely worth it. The ascent to the Stapenberg was very strenuous and steep. Up there you have no foresight through all the trees. But I have to say that it was very cloudy today. I didn't find the stamp office really worthwhile.

Good morning ☕
...we both slept well 🐕😊..well, thighs hurt but as the saying goes.....

what you stop with, you should continue in the morning....

This little round was tough, I shortened HWN 83...then it went steeply up to 33....The visibility is also not so good as the trees cover everything....it was exhausting, but it went down very quickly 😁😂🫢....
