2012 was the year in which a childhood dream came true. Even as a small child, I had this one wish: to stand at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, not just to look at this majestic place from above, but to really experience it. And to be honest – who doesn’t dream about it…
For today’s excursion, we set off on a stamp tour of just under 15 kilometers. The tour starts near Braunlage, a town in the Harz Mountains in Lower Saxony, known for its winter sports facilities and as a climatic health resort. A total of five stamps can be collected along the route. The starting point…
A beautiful 5 km hike leads around the Wippertalsperre dam. The approach is a little adventurous and takes you along gravel paths to the dam wall. The dam wall is also a nice place to spend the night in your car, although I don’t think it’s much fun to drive there in the dark. From…
I have now visited the cricket castle three times and tried a new route this time. The short walk starts between the mini castle and the actual castle in a small parking lot in the middle of the village. From there, the path leads steadily uphill through the Lange Tal valley to the stamp box….
Another short walk with a stamp (no. 59) for the Harz hiking pin. This time we went to the Michaelstein monastery grounds and around the surrounding lakes. Michaelstein Monastery is located near Blankenburg and is a former Cistercian monastery. Today it is home to the Saxony-Anhalt Music Academy for Education and Performance Practice. The academy…
Today’s stage of the Kyffhäuser Trail is much shorter at 14 km and takes us past the Panorama Hotel, through Bad Frankenhausen (which is officially the starting point of the trail), along the Barbarossa Caves before heading back across the fields to our car in Steinthaleben. Along the way, you can not only see some…
At around 27 km, this stage is the longest part of the trail and ends for us at the Hornungshöhe refuge, where we watched the stars for a long time. If you prefer to sleep in a hotel bed, you should add a few more kilometers – then you reach Bad Frankenhausen, where you are…
We take you with us on our hike along the Kyffhäuser Trail. Our tour started in Steinthaleben, where we parked our car. Our aim was to collect some stamps for our touring hiking stamp booklets – there are ten stamps in total on this trail. We had the last opportunity to do this when we…
Today we are taking you on the themed hike “Man and Forest” from Hahnenklee to Goslar! We left our car in Goslar and then took the bus to Hahnenklee. This works pretty well and makes the hike, which isn’t too long anyway, a bit easier because it’s actually only downhill from Hahnenklee to Goslar. The…
The day began like many before it: pack your rucksack, gather your things, briefly enjoy the view of the huge wind turbines. Our goal: to reach the road and take the bus to Tehachapi from there. But after just a few kilometers, our hike was turned upside down. Suddenly, three cute, trusting dogs appeared –…
