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.🚴⚡

The road to Neu-Staßfurt has been open again since this week, it has become very good. Now work should continue here, the town passage also needs it.🧐
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

First, the "Leaning Tower of Bad Frankenhausen", located directly below the hotel, was visited. Here, a special stamp for Touringen could be obtained.

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. In addition to copper, silver was also extracted here, and technical innovations kept production competitive for a long time. Today, only a few slag heaps remain as a reminder of this era; otherwise, nature

On the last day of the vacation, there was supposed to be a cable car ride, which is always very impressive. The weather outlook for the Dachsteinsüdwand was mixed ☁️, so the choice fell on the Hochwurzen, which lies on the other side of the valley and promised good views.
And so it was, wonderful views

The "Steirische Bodensee" above the Enns valley is a worthwhile destination and can be easily circled on an almost level path. It is used for trout farming, and there are several ponds at the outlet. At the top, there are two more lakes, which require overcoming almost 500 meters of altitude.

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
