Getting there and back was very straightforward thanks to the heath shuttle. It was just a shame that I had to wait quite a long time for the return trip. Of course, it was also a shame that I hadn't found time for this hike while the heath was still a sea of purple, but even so, it's a very beautiful

Die offiziell dritte Etappe des Heidschnuckenweges ist nicht nur ein sehr schöner, sondern auch ein hervorragend markierter Weg. Der Abschnitt von Handeloh nach Wesel hat sehr schöne Waldabschnitte und zeigt die Seeve von malerischer Seite. Die zweite Hälfte führt durch die Weseler Heide, die in der Blütezeit natürlich ein absolutes Highlight ist.

The journey by train to Handeloh was easy, comfortable, and without delays, and the return journey was also very straightforward thanks to the Heide Shuttle. In retrospect, however, I should have skipped the stop at the café (sorry, the tea room) and just boarded the bus and started the return journey

From Hameln train station, I followed the E1 until it converged with the Weserberglandweg. I then left the E1 at the Baxmannbaude lodge to walk to Hessisch Oldendorf train station. I followed the Pyrmonter Weg (white triangle on a black background). I would have liked to continue along the Weserberglandweg

A bit up onto the moors, a bit of a pretty woodland, and finally the lake, which was already visible in the distance. A lovely conclusion to this long-distance hike.

Same landscape, completely different mood than the day before. Thanks to the good weather, visibility was really good, so that today the North Sea was easily visible on the horizon. Like several others, we stopped for a break in Glaisdale, where a few nice benches are set up around a small oak tree

The day's route to the Lion Inn (also known as Blakey Ridge) was unexpectedly short, so instead of being picked up from the B&B, I walked to Rosedale Abbey. The path was now clearly in the moors, and the weather, with low clouds and drizzle, enhanced the atmosphere. I was early. First, my hostess had

With views of the Vale of Mowbray, the route continues into the North York Moors. The Coast to Coast route splits with the Cleveland Way here, and only after Carlton Bank (near Lord Stones) are both signposted, not just the Cleveland Way. Of course, the Wainstones are worth mentioning along the route.

The infamous crossing of the A19 was very easy for me. I was obviously lucky; it took me less than a minute in total, and I had large, very safe gaps in both directions. It was probably considerably more stressful for the two couples I was having dinner with. For me, the next road (A172) was considerably

I took the signposted route out of Richmond, but even on a Sunday morning, the road was very fast-moving, making it unpleasant despite the existing footpath. It would have been possible to continue along the path along the Swale, which would have been only slightly longer but certainly more pleasant

I had actually planned to spend the dawn at the Moorturm and then walk the northern path from there, since I was already there, but things turned out differently. Since I didn't have any breakfast with me, I first drove from the Moorturm to the bakery (yes, for once I was driving) and then started from
