On my way to a weekend seminar in Fürstenhagen above the Weser River, I explored the Hoher Hagen, not far from the A7 motorway. As I learned there, it was a corner point of the large Gaussian survey triangle, almost 500 meters high, next to the Brocken and the Inselberg in the Thuringian Forest. With

From the small parking lot at the Winde, the trail continues along the edge of the forest until the beautiful Walther Grosse Trail leads up to Armeleuteberg. The terrace of the restaurant of the same name was beautifully redesigned a few years ago. Shortly after, you reach the "Rapunzelturm" (Rapunzel

From the Schöppenstedt roundabout, the route continues over the Burgberg towards Elm. This time of year, the route along the edge of the forest becomes more pleasant. The long trail towards Warberg, which crosses five forest roads, is always a highlight. The route parallel to the Elm High Road is also

The first section is a short loop around the golf course, then continues through the light valley. The imposing Hausmann Tower, complete with its well-crafted spiral staircase, towers over Liebenburg Castle. The forest café just below serves hot meals throughout the day and has a good selection of cakes

From the Harz Riviera - Beach Club, the route heads toward the Kreuzeck campsite. Continue on trails and along the upper Schalker Graben to Festenburg. Below the small settlement lies the idyllic Schalker Teich (pool). From here, the water trail leads above the road to Mittelschulenberg. Unfortunately

The northern ascent to Eilumer Horn is almost always shady, even up to the upper main trail. The trailout variant via the southern Reitlingstal valley is also not bad, especially since it

From the small, well-maintained "Am Bärenbache" campsite near Hohegeiß, I head south on the Saxony-Anhalt side to the border triangle. Along the border between Lower Saxony and Thuringia, a forest road leads gently uphill on the valley slope to the Sülzhayner Hütte (Sülzhayner Hut). From here, the Grenzweg

From our Hotel Villa Anna, it's only 20 minutes to the entrance of the Drachenschlucht (Dragon Gorge). Two sections are cut vertically and are simply rustic. At its narrowest point, the gorge measures 68 cm. At the top of the Hohe Sonne parking lot, after crossing the road, continue towards the Drachenstein

From the convenient starting point of Bockswiese, today's tour takes us along the quaint Grumbacher Graben into the valley, to the lower pond of the same name. Today, it's a small tourist attraction. We continue over the hill toward Maßener Geipel. The path down is quite rocky and uneven. We leave the
