A wonderful hike from Lautenthal offers a variety of natural beauty and historical sights. The starting point is the large parking lot in Lautenthal, from where we can climb steeply up to the Maaßner Gaipel. Alternatively, it is also possible to park right next to the Maaßner Gaipel and the first stamp point (no. 107)….
As a young boy, the large Sülteberg with its 318 meters of altitude was something like my playground, or rather, my grandparents’ extended garden. I was allowed to run around here, or we walked along part of this path to the now unfortunately closed Waldschänke. According to the Harzklub Wolfshagen, this is also the starting…
Eher selten begangener Weg, der an den Rand eines kleinen Canyons mit steilen Felswänden führt. Die Tour endet an einem Aussichtspunkt mit schönem Blick in das Tal und die dahinterliegenden Berge. Der Trail selber führt darüber hinaus noch weiter hinab in das Tal. Direkt am Trailhead an der Gravel Springs Gap Parking Area folgt der…
This short and easy-to-walk circular trail leads to an area that was inhabited before the park was established. It is clearly marked by blue markers (color markings on trees). A guidebook is available for a small fee at the trailhead and at the visitor center, which is located just a few meters from the trailhead….
Day 43 Our goal for the day was to get as close as possible to the border of the national park. As we didn’t have permission to spend the night in the national park, we were constantly switching back and forth between the hiking trail and the road, depending on the conditions. The trail was…
Day 39 From the hotel, we followed the paved hiking trail to the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, which was closed due to a lack of staff. So we drove straight to the Backcountry Information Office, where we met Aspen. She raved to us about her tour and we basically planned the exact same tour, just…
Day 33 Today, after our stay at the hotel in Flagstaff, we were to continue our journey. As I didn’t want to miss out on the area around Flagstaff, we dropped off at Canyon Vista Campground and hiked a few miles, including some routes I already knew. Afterwards, the trail became particularly beautiful and rocky….
Day 26 was the only “zero day” I allowed myself on the trail. We only stayed at an Airbnb or went shopping. We cooked our own meals and put our feet up. Day 27: We left the Airbnb as late as possible and headed back towards the trail. We met other hikers at the trailhead….
Day 21: The day began as the last one had ended. Rather leisurely, with a long sleep and a coffee after the small store opened at 7:00 am. Afterwards, however, we climbed 1700 meters in altitude over a distance of 36 km. But always with breathtaking views of the lake on one side and the…
Day 19: Today we went into the Superstition Wilderness. Some of the paths were very difficult to follow. Especially in the last few meters, there were many fallen trees on narrow paths on the slope, which actually consisted only of rubble and made progress difficult. The day was a little shorter this time and the…
