About HWK Karsten IV.
Ihr seid hier bei Karsten aus Staßfurt. Nachdem ich bereits früher Harztouren gemacht habe, bin ich seit Oktober 2011 aktiver Stempelsammler der Harzer Wandernadel. Im August 2023 gab es den 5. Wanderkaiser. Im Winter bevorzugt zu Fuß, im Sommer hilft das MTB etwas, natürlich ohne elektrische Hilfe. Daneben interessiere ich mich auch für die Bergbaugeschichte des Harzes, die Eisenbahnen hier und auch der Karstwanderweg ist teilweise sehr interessant.
Auch im Urlaub werden schöne Ziele anvisiert, so war ich in der Schweiz u. a. an der Triftbrücke, am Gloggentürmli und auf dem Pazolastock.
Einmal im Jahr geht es auf eine größere Radreise mit dem Trekkingrad, u.A. wurde dabei der Fernradweg Alpe-Adria von Salzburg nach Grado an der Adria absolviert, welcher sehr empfehlenswert ist.

I know what you're thinking, and you're right. Why is he doing such a short tour? Yes, it was planned to be over 20 km; I wanted to reach a specific point at the Rappbode Dam.



After my tour in Schierke, I was expecting snow, but here it was just too much. The climb to Kapitelsberg was manageable without

On January 2nd, I went on my New Year's hike, choosing Schierke as my destination. I planned to participate in the Harz Hiking Badge's New Year's Eve competition. The challenge involved visiting four stamp boxes; the fourth one offered an exclusive New Year's Eve stamp, and a photo of it was required

The hiking season concluded with a tour in Goslar, a route I'd never hiked before, under perfect weather conditions.



The start was quite challenging, a climb up the Rammelsberg to the Sparkassen-Hütte (savings bank hut) at Ramseck. The view more than compensated for the effort, and even though it was

During my hike around the Rappbode Dam with Harald from fit-wandern, I missed a few places nearby, which I decided to revisit on this tour.



I started at the Stemberghaus charcoal kiln, heading towards Schöneburg Castle high above the Bode Valley. Along the way, you can walk directly on the ridge of the

A Hike Through the Former Heart of Upper Harz Mining



I'd already done this tour once in two parts by mountain bike, but now I wanted to do it again in one go on foot. The fog wasn't a problem; I wasn't expecting any spectacular views.



There's a lot to explain and read, so I grabbed my reading glasses

Once again, I went for an after-work stroll after my last early shift. This evening was extra special, as it was the last one this year. Work resumes on January 7th.



Another event today was the winter solstice. It not only has a precise date but also occurs at an exact time. This year it was at 4:03 PM

A visit to a Christmas market is a must during Advent. For the past few years, we've alternated between Wernigerode and Quedlinburg, both being relatively close. This year it was Quedlinburg's turn, and it was lovely once again.



Besides the Christmas market, you can explore the charmingly lit streets

Traditionally, the Harz Hiking Badge's Forest Christmas event takes place at the beginning of December. This event also marks the end of the hiking season, even though hiking is most enjoyable in winter.



A location in the Harz Mountains is always chosen for this event, where food and drinks are available
