After work, I went for a short walk to the stamp sites at the Steinberg tower and Granestausee lake. If I don’t start collecting stamps during the week, I don’t think I’ll be able to do it this year. The starting point was the parking lot at the Steinberg playground right on the edge of…
This time I went to all the stamp sites around Friedrichsbrunn that I was still missing for #HWN2024 – and to be honest, that was all of them. Stamp points on the hike You can park your car directly in front of the spa gardens in Friedrichsbrunn. From there, after a short crossing of the…
At the beginning of June, I set off on this adventurous tour through the Harz Mountains, which took me 67 km through the Harz Mountains and rewarded me with 16 stamps. Overnight accommodation can be found in the surrounding villages such as Wieda, Zorge, Braunlage and Hohegeiß. Unfortunately, it took me a little too long…
This time I went on a long tour through the Harz Mountains. Originally, the hike wasn’t just supposed to go from Torfhaus to Thale, but all the way to Meisdorf, but my health put a spanner in the works. Otherwise, the route often follows the northern variant of the Harzer Hexenstieg, but doesn’t skip any…
For me, the Sudmerberg Tower was more than just a stamping point on the Harz hiking pin. As a child, it was like an extension of our garden, a place full of adventure and memories. Whether playing tag or having our first secret cigarette – the Sudmerberg was our playground. As part of #HWN2024, I…
After I had almost circumnavigated the Oderteich last week to get to stamp point 217 Sonnenkappe, we were even closer this weekend and even walked along the dam wall. Stamps on the hike: Directions for the hike between Sankt Andreasberg & Braunlage We found a parking lot very close to the Oderteich pond right by…
It was that time again at the weekend and I set off on another multi-day stamp tour. This time I was dropped off in Ilsenburg after work and then walked back to my car, trying to collect as many stamps as possible along the way. However, I deviated from my original plan on the way….
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…
