Today our journey began in Santa Clarita. After dropping off the rental car, we took a Lyft, a kind of cab. Our destination was a campsite near Acton, right on the trail. But there was a problem right at the start: there were two campsites on the same street and I had chosen the wrong…
This walk was actually planned as a longer tour of the crags, but the combination of short winter days and getting up late does not always work out. So it turned into a circular hike of just under 12 km starting from Wernigerode, on which we at least collected 4 stamps for our shared stamp…
When we set off from our accommodation the next morning, we were greeted by beautiful weather. The day started promisingly and we first walked past the monastery of San Salvador in Cornellana, which was built in the 11th century and is known for its tranquil atmosphere. It was a beautiful moment to see the historic…
After a leisurely start to the first stage, the second day started much earlier. We were the first from our room to leave the accommodation. The morning was at its most beautiful and the view from the bridge, which we soon reached, was particularly impressive. The river and the steep rock faces offered a picturesque…
Today I’m taking you on a special tour through the northern Harz foreland – more precisely, to the diverse area around Halberstadt. This hike combines nature, history and magnificent views. Our route takes us over the Spiegelberge and Thekenberge mountains to the striking Klusfelsen rocks. Along the way, one highlight follows the next – and…
Bad Grund is an ideal starting point for hikes and offers some of the finest natural attractions in the Harz – despite the fact that the village can only be reached by car or bus. Several well-known trails start here, among them the Harzer Baudenstieg, the Harzer Försterstieg, which runs close by, and the Karstwanderweg,…
From Rieder, you can go on a short circular hike and connect several places worth seeing in the Harz Mountains. Firstly, the Gegensteine, which I have already told you about in my post about the hike on the Harz Devil’s Wall Trail, and secondly, Roseburg Castle. If you have the castles and palaces stamp booklet,…
The Harzer Teufelsmauerstieg runs along perhaps the most impressive rock formations in the Harz Mountains and captivates hikers and nature lovers alike. It stretches for around 20 kilometers from Blankenburg to Ballenstedt and offers spectacular views with its jagged sandstone formations. This unique natural monument is one of the oldest nature reserves in Germany and…
A rollercoaster of emotions over the last few kilometers Today I realized that I like the Way of St. James less and less with each passing day. What once began as an adventure is increasingly turning into a kind of fever dream of restaurants, souvenir stalls and former pilgrims selling their books, shells and other…
It was hard to leave our cozy, comfy camping barrel the next morning and make our way to our destination for today, O Pedrouzo. The sky was cloudy again and the rain pelted down on our hoods as we walked along the road towards Arzúa. GPS data of the hike on the Camino Primitivo From…
