October 13, 2023,Harz: Teufelsmauer Thale / Neinstedt

January 8, 2025,Der Teufel war‘s: Teufelsmauer von Weddersleben

Change of scene: From Bremen to the Harz.
First we walked in glorious weather from Weddersleben, the Teufelsmauer car park, past the Königstein, the Mittelsteine, the Schmalen Klink to the Papenstein.
Back on a partly different route on the shady side of the Teufelsmauer.
Always great to see!
Continuation followed from Timmerode to Blankenburg.
