Newcastle proves to be a city of bridges.
From historic metal bridges and concrete structures to the futuristic Millennium Bridge. Some were built ruthlessly over existing houses.
Speaking of ruthless - the further path is rather joyless. Even today, a lot of carelessly discarded rubbish lies by the roadside

Today's stage can't really inspire us. It's part of the Hadrian's Wall Path and leads us to Newcastle. It mostly follows a former railway line straight towards the destination. It's interrupted by some roads where it gets quite noisy. Only the last section runs along the River Tyne. Unfortunately, it

We walked the spectacular parts and foundations of Hadrian's Wall with yesterday's stage. On today's route, we first go uphill and a last part of the wall, which was not "recycled", waits forlornly in a pasture for attention. After a stop at the Robin Hood Pub, we then continue briskly towards Wylam.

Today, it felt like the core part of Hadrian's Wall. The well-preserved walls and the foundations of the former towers and buildings give an idea of what it looked like here almost 2000 years ago. Illustrations and drawings aid the imagination. In a few years, time travel will be perfectly possible with

Etappe 3 - Lanercost nach Haltwhistle
Die heutige Etappe beginnt am Lanercost Priory, das wir mit dem HW1 von Carlisle aus erreichen. Gefrühstückt wird gut in den dazugehörigen Tea Rooms. Am dritten Tag unserer Tour stossen wir dann auch endlich auf erkennbare Reste des Hadrian Walls. Die Landschaft ist beeindruckend und ein paar mehr Höhenmeter sind…

Today's stage begins at Lanercost Priory, which we reach from Carlisle via the HW1. We have a good breakfast in the associated Tea Rooms. On the third day of our tour, we finally encounter recognizable remains of Hadrian's Wall. The landscape is impressive and there are also a few more altitude meters to overcome.

Even today, Hadrian's Wall remains well hidden. Other beautiful walls had to serve as photo motifs. In this still quite urban region, the stones were rather used and repurposed. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful path. The highlights, however, came from more recent times.

The first stage of the Hadrian's Wall Path covers around 24 kilometers from Bowness-on-Solway to Carlisle. In the western section from Bowness-on-Solway, Hadrian's Wall originally consisted mainly of turf bricks and not stone. Therefore, above-ground stone remains of the wall are rarely found here. Many

🏯26/08: Henriettenhof + Kloster Cismar
Das Herrenhaus Henriettenhof ist ein klassizistischer Herrensitz in Schleswig-Holstein; ein Adelssitz ist es jedoch wohl nicht gewesen. Kloster Cismar ist eine große Abtei, die nach der Reformation zeitweise als Gut unter wechselnden Besitzern genutzt wurde. Deshalb darf es u.A. auf unserer Gütertour erscheinen.

The eighth estate tour takes Wilfried and me to the Baltic Sea coast near Grömitz. The estates we visit, however, are located a little inland. Not much is left of the Henriettenhof besides the manor house. There has been no agriculture there since the 1960s. Today, the focus is on renting holiday apartments

10.07.26 | We undertook a similar tour on 6/24 as part of the Turm Touren. Now we visit two estates.
Gut Waterneverstorf
Originally laid out as a moated castle by the Ranzaus around 1400, the estate was sold to the Reventlows and finally, in 1663, to the Blomes, who, from 1730 onwards, transformed the complex into a baroque noble residence…

🏯26/06: Gut Friederikenhof
Das Gut wurde 1789 gegründet. Es ist kein adeliges Rittergut, sondern war lange Zeit ein Meierhof, d.h. durch eine Pächter eigenverantwortlich bewirtschaftet. Es gehörte zum viel prächtigeren Gut Weissenhaus.
Ein bescheiden wirkendes Haupthaus, zwei mächtige Wirtschaftsgebäude und weitere Nebengebäude bilden das Hofensemble.

30.6.26 | A wonderful day with a manor tour and coastal hike.
Halfway through the "estate tours" that Wilfried and I regularly undertake this year. And because it's summer, we're drawn to the coast. Estates can also be found there. Nearby are Gut Weißenhaus and Gut Farve, both far more magnificent than

The way there first led us through a shady forest area and then a bit along the tracks of the former Malente - Lütjenburg railway line. While we were walking on the still existing track, a new hiking

🏯26/04: Gut Ranzau
Das Gut Rantzau ist Namensgeber und ehemaliger Stammsitz der uradeligen Familie Rantzau, deren adelige, weit verzweigte Linie hier vor 800 Jahren begann. Eine kleine wendische Burg wurde Herrensitz der von Rantzau über Jahrhunderte. Im Laufe der Zeit bauten die von Rantzau über 70 Herrensitze. Die uradelige Familie war in Holstein…

Wilfried and I visit the venerable Gut Rantzau on our 4th Goods Tour.
The estate is the namesake and former ancestral seat of the ancient noble family Rantzau, whose noble, widely branched line began here 800 years ago. A small Wendish castle became the manor house of the von Rantzau family for centuries

Tynemouth is for us a better endpoint for the tour than the official one of Hadrian's Way in Wallsend. The sea, the vastness, an old castle - simply wonderful. However, the returning rain makes it definitively clear to us: this is the end - and it's a good thing.
