After I read that the Totems are back on the Halde Haniel, I wanted to see what the plateau looks like after the reconstruction work. However, the work doesn't seem to be completely finished yet, because on the path I originally wanted to take up, there was still a half-open barrier and behind it a bulldozer

With this tour, my hiking vacation in the Harz this year comes to an end. Finally, a large part of the route was under trees, so the temperature was somewhat bearable.
Six beautiful routes lie behind me. I arrived with 12 planned. After all, I wanted to have some choice. But my plans were quite ambitious

Great round. Yes, it's quite bearable here in the Harz with the current temperatures.

Why are there so many trees in the Harz mountains when the paths are still in the blazing sun? 😞
After the Förster-Ludewig-Platz, I didn't care at first, because the paths were nice and flat. Later, there was a 3.1 km climb to the Wolfswarte. Not thrilling.
However, the view from up there was a reward

Today, the weather was perfect for the ascent to the Brocken from Torfhaus. Along the way, we naturally visited a few stamp points for the Harzer Wandernadel. Four were planned, but HWN 11 Eckerloch would have pushed me to my physical limits, so I turned back after 300 m. Another 700 m lay ahead of me

Checkpoints 12, 75, and 148 are the ones I skipped on my tour yesterday. I only had to adjust the route a little. While doing so, I saw that I could easily incorporate 123.
It was another very nice hike, even though it was too warm for my taste. Fortunately, I was spared the predicted rain.
After I had

When I discovered the stamp box for the Harzer Wandernadel last year during my hiking holiday in Braunlage, on my last hike up to the Brocken, by chance (there was dense fog), I became curious about what was hidden behind it. Back in my holiday apartment, I did some research. A stamp box is set up at

Since I had to go into town to take care of administrative tasks for my orienteering club, I also wanted to take the opportunity to see the new murals that I had already seen on FB/Instagram.

Since I last hiked to Schloss Strünkede in 11/22, it was time again. For the way back, I took the connection Rhein-Herne-Kanal-Emscherbruch-Resser Mark for the first time.
So I also passed the festival grounds of the Cranger Kirmes, which only starts at the beginning of August, but where the setup work

Since this was provisionally my last hiking day in the Teutoburg Forest, the route had to be longer. I chose the Furlbach Valley as my destination, where I had already hiked almost exactly five years ago to the day, on 08.06.2021. I had planned a new route, which however had some similarities on the

My hiking vacation in this part of the Teutoburg Forest always ends with the search for cattle in the Wistinghauser Senne. I search because I have always found them in a different area in previous years.
Since continuous rain was forecast for this morning from 9:00 AM and I had never experienced the Senne

After I had made good progress in the Harz mountains, I still needed a few more meters of altitude for the Komoot challenge "Climb an Everest". So, off to "my" slag heap. Three laps were enough for me today. Firstly, to finish the challenge, and secondly, due to the heat and the extensive construction
