The extension of Schmücke and Hoher Schrecke in a southeasterly direction is the mountain ridge "Die Finne".⛰️ South of it lies the small town of Rastenberg, which I used as a starting point for this tour.
Already in the town area, there are the first small highlights with the grounds of the former Rastenburg

My Pomeranian Bella loves to ride in the front bag on the bike. As soon as the bag is mounted, there's no holding her back.🐶😄
Getting out isn't an option, and if it is, she usually runs in a different direction than intended.
Somehow she seems to know the way home, and takes that path herself.🤷

Autumn 🍂 is coming in leaps and bounds and since there are mainly deciduous trees 🌳 in the Südharz, a tour here is all the more worthwhile now.
The Südharz is already located in Thuringia and so you will find the first Touringen stamps here.☺️
The start was at the well-known hiking parking lot in Neustadt

The third "Wandering Stamp" was next, and after a few tours in Thuringia, it was time to head back to the Harz. It was supposed to be a small, fine tour around Braunlage, so I set off after work with my eco-MTB packed.
It was great to ride another section on the track of the former South Harz Railway

My hiking friend @Sven Schönebaum recently went on a hike between Wipper and Aschersleben and visited the menhir "Blaue Gans" above Aschersleben. It is located almost directly on the path that I used for many years by bike as a way to work. I wanted to see that.
The menhir was easy to find and is still

After having already explored a lot in Sondershausen with the Windleite and the Possenwald, today my goal was the western Hainleite.
The first stamp was already obtained on the market square behind the castle. Here begins the Johann Karl Wezel-Weg in the direction of Auleben and a part of the Barbarossa

The district between the Elbe and the Cathedral below the river bridge is always good for a little discovery tour, there are winding paths and you see things from a new perspective. Due to the low water, the Cathedral rock lies exposed in the Elbe, it is easy to imagine that it is an obstacle for shipping

After I really enjoyed the small Hohe-Schrecke circular trail and almost all paths were very walkable, it was now time to complete the large circular trail. However, over 40 km and almost 1000 m of altitude required a suitable vehicle, so the e-trekking bike had to be used again.🚴⚡

Behind Neu-Staßfurt there is a small forest area, the Ellas. Here it goes steeply up and down through hollows and over hills, it was a popular destination

I only use my now 18-year-old eco-trekking bike for the annual big bike tour. Otherwise, I use my e-trekking bike for my commute and my eco-MTB for other tours. With good maintenance and replacement of worn parts, it rides like new and I would never give it away.
It even got to know large parts of the

A longer tour through the Kyffhäuser has been on my list for a while, here there is the big circular route of 37 km. With the start of the Touringen, this plan came even closer, there are 10 stamps to collect here.🙂
37 km and over 800m of elevation gain were too much for a day tour, so a stopover had

For many centuries, the Hüttengrund in Eisleben was an important processing site for Mansfeld ores.

Today, only a few slag heaps remain as a reminder of this era; otherwise, nature

After the clock change, the window for an after-work tour in daylight is getting smaller and smaller.😠 That's why I went to Börnecke near Blankenburg today to give the HWN companion booklet "20 Years of HWN" a little boost. Before that, I had already been to Gernrode on the Bückeberg. Unfortunately
