Here in 1818 the last lynx of the Harz was shot. Since the year 2000 the lynxes are back in the Harz after a settlement project. 😉👍

Black and white hike in fresh snow. Entry via the Neklenberghütte car park uphill towards the castle ruins (11th century) Hausschildberg. Direct path to Tränkebach, difficult to walk on, and there are trees across the way. Tränkebachtal (highlight) steeply up to the Tränkebachhütte, double stamp point HWN and Steinway Trail. Continue on the circular route to the Schnapsplatz (!) and …

She only needs 26 more stamps (and after today, only 24). So let's go. Today there was a very easy tour between Seesen and Lautenthal. We did a small round trip from the Sternplatz …

December 29, 2024,Wanderung um den Großen Trogtaler Berg

Today I went on a short, easy hike around the Grosser Trogtaler Berg. The tour includes the stamping points for HWN 103 (Luchsstein) and 104 (Tränkebachhütte). The weather was very nice, but there was an icy wind. You could see the Innerste Dam well, but otherwise the visibility was not so good.

Today I went back to the Harz Mountains with my hiking buddy Tanja. This time, however, on a relaxed tour with little elevation gain, but with two HWN stamps and one for the Steinway Trail.
