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…
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…
