With the new app, I can see at a glance where I've already covered the Stempelwiese and where I still need to go, making the new tour planning easier.

I park at the Weltwald, Bad Grund, and head for the Iberg Albert Tower as my first destination. This tower is not only the tallest building within a 20

I haven't had time to hike for a while and have somewhat lost track of the topic. Now, when I open the Harz app, I'm completely lost and completely confused as to which of the 222 stamping stations I've already visited and which I haven't. I realize I need another app that gives me a clear overview

I start in Bad Harzburg. Being the stingy person I am, I naturally don't park in one of the centrally located and expensive parking lots, but look for a secluded spot not far from the forest. For me, it's a matter of principle: nature must be freely accessible somehow. No matter.

So I set off and am already

Since the leafless deciduous forest wasn't the best, I decided to continue hunting in the northern Harz Mountains. I'm saving the deciduous forest for when the weather is green again. I quickly found a few stamping stations near the Innerste Dam. As always, without much thought... I found the information

I wanted to do round two of my stamp hunt in the southern Harz Mountains, which, unlike the area around the Brocken, are made up of deciduous forest (not just lopped-off, apocalyptically stabbing tree stumps). And I love the lush green of the trees! Unlike the usual Komoot hikes, where you can easily

The other day, a message popped up on my phone: Hiking Emperor found dead in the Harz Mountains. My first reaction was, oh, poor Roland Kaiser, he was hiking in the Harz Mountains and something happened to him. He's probably over 70, so things like that can happen.



My Aunt Google, who knows pretty much

Just get out and enjoy the good weather. I didn't realize I wouldn't be the only one, and since I'm not an early riser, the parking lot in southern Ilseburg was completely full...

Whole hordes of hikers were trudging up the Ilse Valley into the mountains. On the one hand, I'm thrilled to see that there

I actually just wanted to take advantage of the weather somewhere in the Harz. But when I saw that there was still a blanket of snow above 800m, I spontaneously changed my plans. Blue sky and snow are a great combination.

All alone and without oxygen equipment, I climbed the 92m to the top of the Brelinger Berg. And as I was climbing, I already felt it: I am called to something even "higher" ;-)

Actually, I only did the tour because of Mr. Hitler's unfinished motorway bridge. Now I've finally seen it. It does look a bit

I'm not much of an urban walker. But since I was in Hamburg anyway, I thought I'd take a look at Blankenese. The name comes from the white sand spit (blanke Nees) where the ferry boats used to dock. It actually has quite a maritime flair... And lots of stairs
