👩‍👦🥾🥾

After we visited the zoo in Bernburg yesterday and visited great-grandma Marita, we went hiking again today.

I only had these goals with Nico, but Bruno needs them too.
🚙 steered to Opperode, parked and booted to the old coal shaft and then to the Bismarck Tower. Of course still up to look down 😂. Back at the car, …

October 29, 2022,Stempel 181 und 61 Sammeltour

Our major tour today. First of all, a big "I'm proud of my girls". A great tour, with the beautiful castle park, two mystical places as burial sites. Whereby the Butlar's grave fits perfectly with the Halloween time. The Rieder opencast mine was also extremely worth seeing. And a really cool highlight was that we met a hiking emperor with …

After we walked 12km through nature yesterday 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️, we wanted to enjoy it in peace today.

We had chosen a 16km route. But we got up way too late this morning and changed our plans, otherwise we would have exceeded our time window. So we went to Ballenstedt to the castle. From there …

After breakfast we drove to Ballenstedt to hike from the parking lot at the castle through the forest to stamping point 181. We were approached by an elderly man with a very large dog who seemed calm and relaxed. Suddenly the dog attacks my love and bites her backpack. 😡 The pump went pretty bad. What do you want to …

Opening of the hiking season 2022 - fantastic weather ☀️☀️☀️ and an all-round beautiful tour. On idyllic forest and forest paths (no forest highways 👆) we went along beautifully situated ponds, past March beakers, interesting places such as the Aboretum Forstmeister Tannen and Wilhelmine Buttlar's grave to finally the Rieder quarry, where the Harz greywacke is mined. Ballenstedt also has …

Public holiday = hiking day

I had planned a big round right in front of the front door, but it turned into two small ones because I didn't dare to do it.

Starting at Ballenstedt Castle, we went in the direction of the Harz greywacke, over the forest master firs, along Buttlar's grave at the Kleiner Siebersteinteich. We took …
