Today we were out and about in the South Harz again. We wanted to take another stage of the Karstwanderweg under our feet. We started at the Herzberg Schloss train stop and first walked through Herzberg's city center, past the Juessee, on to the Papenberg. From here you can normally enjoy a wonderful

Today we enjoyed a leisurely Sunday afternoon stroll from Diemarden through the Garte Valley.
The small river was quite full and surprised us with a few small rapids.
We started in Diemarden, passing flower meadows, St. Michael's Church, the former Garte Valley Railway station, and the fire station. There

Today we hiked my absolute favorite trail from Adelsborn to the Kanstein. This trail is a highlight in every season. We've hiked it in every season already.
We started at Eselsgasse! We passed the graves of the von Wintzingerode family and reached the Kanstein, a 30-meter-high limestone formation. At

Worbis: Eichsfelder Kirchen am Wegesrand
Auf dem Gelände des 1540 aufgelösten Zisterzienserinnenklosters errichteten Mönche 1667 eine Holzkapelle. Die Kirche wurde von 1670-1677 erbaut und ist eine der stilvollsten Kirchen des Eichsfeldes. Die mächtige Halle der Kirche wird von einer gewölbten Decke ohne Pfeiler überspannt. Der prächtige Hochaltar mit seinen Seiten- und Nebenaltären, die Kanzel und die Beichtstühle zeigen die für die Barockzeit typischen reichen Verzierungen. An der Rückwand des Schiffes erhebt sich die Orgelempore, die 1697 fertiggestellt und 2011/12 umfangreich rekonstruiert wurde. Sie war die erste und größte dreimanualige Orgel Mitteldeutschlands nach dem 30-jährigen Krieg.

We visited the St. Anthony pilgrimage church in Worbis.
We started at the Glashaus parking lot and walked towards the town center to the parish church of St. Nicholas. There, we were greeted with a resounding "Hallelujah!" What

How wonderful! After the gray, damp days, the sun is finally shining again.
We took advantage of the fantastic weather to hike the circular trail around the Eichsfeld Borderland Museum on familiar paths.
After the division of Germany and the construction of an insurmountable border between the two German

Today we wanted to explore Leipzig's local recreation area. We chose the "Costa Cospuda" (Lake Cospuden) and the Bistumshöhe (Bishop's Hill).
Lake Cospuden is a former open-cast lignite mine. Until April 20, 1990, the total production amounted to 87 million tons of raw lignite before the mine was closed

Today we hiked the Sielmann High Trail under challenging conditions.
In some sections, we broke trail .
However, the snowy landscape was mostly pristine and wonderful to behold.
It would have been even more beautiful with sunshine 🌞. But you can't have everything.

We started at the edge of Grabe. After a short trip on the road, we soon turned right into
