Every year, we try to go on a short bike tour with the whole family. Just to do something together, as we are now spread out in different corners of Germany. Last year, we cycled part of the Elbe cycle path shortly after I came back from the Arizona Trail. The year before that, we…
Together with my parents, we undertook this beautiful hike between Tanne and Trautenstein in the Harz Mountains and collected 5 stamps along the way. We parked centrally between the two towns in a hikers’ parking lot on the B242. If you prefer to start directly in Trautenstein, you can of course do this too, as…
This time I have a new hike for you that I haven’t published on this site before. So it’s completely different to last week’s post. It is an approx. 15 km long tour with 3 Harzer Wandernadel stamp points around Walkenried. The stamps around Walkenried Description of the hike We started at the official parking…
On this tour, I accompany you on a hike from Bad Harzburg to collect 7 stamps. I have already collected some of them on other hikes, e.g. on the first tour that I published on Walking Away in 2007. To be honest, this tour is very similar to the hike “Between East and West of…
Our last day started with a steep climb out of Elkering. Until we reached a road. Incidentally, the source of the Ruhr is not very far from here. So if you like, you can take a little detour. However, we didn’t do this as I had already cycled the Ruhr Valley cycle path in 2020…
This was our longest stage at around 30 km. First of all, we had to pack everything up again and descend from the campsite to the actual route of the Winterberg Hochtour. Once we arrived at the Mollseifen barbecue hut, the short ascent to Mollseifen began. After Mollseifen, the route often follows the same paths…
Our day started with heavy rain. Once we were out of Winterberg, we took refuge in a bus stop and put on our rain pants. However, it took us so long to do so that we were soon able to take them off again, as the rain had already stopped. Although the ascent to the…
Originally, we had planned a relaxed hike from Siedlinghausen to Winterberg, a short walk of less than 20 kilometers that would take us to the campsite where we wanted to spend the night. But unfortunately, the weather in the Sauerland wasn’t the only thing that didn’t really want to play along at the beginning of…
The monastery hiking trail leads along idyllic paths and places steeped in history from Wöltingerode Monastery to Ilsenburg. At first, the path leads gently uphill along the Hercyniaweg, which takes its name from the ancient name of the Harz Mountains as “Hercynia silva”. After about two kilometers, the forest thins out and the path leads…
From the starting point at the festival hall in Wolfshagen, the trail first leads uphill for a short distance. Once at the top, there is a beautiful view of the village. The trail then runs above Wolfshagen and continues along the steep meadow. The first stamping point (HWN 142) is located at the Mandolinenhütte, which…
