Before today's lap, we quickly went up to 108 Sudmerbergswarte, then the parking lot at the Rammelsberg mine. The way up to the Ramseck is very steep, but beautiful. In addition, there was the snowfall of the last two days, which made the whole thing even more slippery. Adventure is a must :-)
You can also get the 111 Steinberg Tower at the Steinbergalm, but that's a bit of a cheat - so up to the tower. Then on to the Granetalsperre - a toboggan would have been great here for the descent. Nice view from the pavilion, the sun came out for a moment.
You are rarely alone on this round, especially when the first snow has fallen. The people are friendly and greetings, they just don't want to give up their children. Often heard today: "If you don't come with us now, we'll leave you here!" I offered myself every time, but then nobody made their announcement true ;-)
Up to the Steinbergalm and then through the beautiful city park back to the Rammelsberg. Very nice tour of Goslar.

WSK = Wandering stamp box
The value chain always stands for a special goal, be it scenic, cultural or commercial. So it's worth visiting all of them.

Today made a nice tour at Wildemann and included 2 WSK = wandering stamp box.
Steep up to 105 is always nice. Then continue over the rich Julia spring to the former creativ-art path. The virtual stamp point is right at the entrance to the path. The path is barely recognizable, but I still found some former works of art. Like searching in the jungle ...
The following Einersberger pond is a real insider tip. You can even swim here. From Clausthal and Wildemann only accessible by hike, it will probably not be used heavily in summer. I'll be back for sure :-)
Then down to Wildemann and - after a piece of cake in between - up to the pavilion, where the active value chain is currently. Nice tour.

From the landscape park a bit cross-country (Komoot has given a path ...) towards Wiesenrode. Beautiful village with a half-timbered church that is well worth seeing.
Further to the bison and there a few meters to the WSK = Wandering stamp box and digitally stamped. The way to the Cluesberg is quite long, back to Degenershausen too :-) Well, but only 3 stamps are missing for the 4th Kaiser.Track video: relive.cc/view/vXOnwLAM856

Leaving Ballenstedt right past the town hall and out into the countryside. First to the Bismarck tower (Komoot suppressed the pictures) and to the coal shaft, and then walk an arch south past Ballenstedt back to the castle. Here, of course, the Burgen & Schlösser stamp was set, before the forester Tannen again saw a full double page with stamps :-)
Then finally at the pea soup stand. Yummy. I happened to be there around noon ;-).
The way to the Sieberstein pond is a particularly beautiful section, I think. And in the valley to the small dam and up to the stamp 61 is the best solution for the Grauwacke stamp so far.
A visit to the Roseburg with a view of the fascinating garden (and castles and palaces stamps) should of course not be missed.
The highlight was the WSK = wandering stamp box on the counter stones. I was actually here for the first time! Very worthwhile, great section of the Teufelsmauer.Track video: relive.cc/view/v1Ow3ydm1XO

Arnstein Castle is definitely worth a visit. Not only because of the WSK = wandering stamp box, but because of the uniqueness of the system.
In addition to the impressive castle, you can visit the secret passage - it is easy to walk through - where else do you have something like that. Presumably the "secret passage" served to deliver beer (was it already the Altenauer Pils?).
The map for this visit is not usable, but the starting point is the parking lot, you can see the castle and where the photos are you can find the secret passage. Have fun.---

Another WSK = wandering stamp box with which the tour began. Nice place and impressive oak.
The highlight today was of course the witch tree, one of the most beautiful places in the Harz Mountains because it is so unique and special. The calcium source was new to me. The water doesn't taste that bad. In Bad Suderode it is clearly "healthier" (means: more terrible in taste).
A very varied and beautiful tour today.Track video: relive.cc/view/vMv8y72ZyNO

The route was only really nice at the end ... We also had to cross a company site where a sign like this "No entry" was possibly to be seen. And climb over a gate. Ok, so not really recommended, but I really wanted to do a loop of this tour.

Here is the second part of the Zorger hiking pin hike. The second tour starts in Zorge, because this is where the solutions to the quiz questions can be found at the end. In addition to the Zorger stamp, we also take the red shot (HWN 90) with us. Then it goes to the turning body. There are the most mysterious stories that I like to tell fellow travelers on the occasion ...

Wintry round at Hohegeiß. First to the ring of memories and then the two places at Hohegeiß. Once again took a new path for the stamps there and discovered the Steinbachtal. Very nice, but a few trees are still a bit in the way. But you can get around it well.
Before that we were still at the Kapitelsberg hut. It's gotten pretty bare there, and of course the hut is great as always. I also found a beautiful Harzstein there :-)
