Highly motivated, we set off on the second stage of the Schwanewede hiking trail. We park by the dike and start along the road, hoping it will only be a short stretch, but the entire route is on asphalt or concrete. The smell of a pigsty is also a constant companion. Highlights include the charming church

What could be better on Valentine's Day than trudging through a freshly snow-covered forest together? :))) We took a lovely walk through the woods near Schmidt's Pines and the FriedWald (forest cemetery) and were surprised by how much snow was still there. The route is part of the Schwanewede hiking

Today we parked at the Trinity Church in Neubruchhausen. This is the starting point for the "Erdmann's Traces" hiking trail. Erdmann was a former head forester who championed natural forestry practices from an early age.
The landscape is varied. The trail follows the Hache River, leading across fields

Today we start at the Syke outdoor swimming pool and district museum. First, we follow the Gold Hoard Trail. This trail begins with a fairly long approach through the town before leading through an open, green agricultural area. The short path through the small wood near Gessel is lovely. The highlight

The circular trail leads us through the misty winter forest to the rather unspectacular Lichtenstein castle ruins. There's a stamp for the Karst Trail here. Much more interesting, though, is the tree that seems to have another tree growing between its toes 😁 Since we're running a bit late, we shorten

We parked at the hiking parking lot in Düna today. The ground was slippery, so we stuck to the overgrown edges of the paths. And it was very foggy; the sun didn't break through all day.
We set off and right at the beginning, in a wooded area, discovered interesting karst formations. For example, at a

Today we're taking the bus from Herzberg to Bad Lauterberg. From there, the Karst Trail first leads us past the Königshütte, a former ironworks, now a remarkable industrial monument with impressive buildings. A beautiful, wooded stretch follows, running directly along the Oder River. The trail was actually

Today we start near the watermill in Meyenburg. We begin by walking through the very charming village with its countless farmhouses and a pretty church. Then we look back at the village from fields interspersed with forest and wind turbines. It's quite beautiful, actually, but also very noisy, including
