July 8, 2024,Selketal ♟️176, 194 und 175 ✅️

Today I used my first day of vacation and the good weather to complete the "Kingfisher" mission. After a very bad night, the alarm went off in the morning and I started my hike shortly after 10 a.m. First I went up to the Uhlenköpfe Hänichen (HWN 176) along the Selke. Back at the PP I hiked to "Hellergrund" (HWN …

Beautiful snow round on mostly well-known route. And at the end a delicious pea soup in the Glasebach mine.

Der perfekte Start für unseren HWN-Endspurt-Wanderurlaub 😀 Frauchen sagte wir fangen mal ganz hinten an, dann brauchen wir nicht immer so weit fahren, also waren wir heute nochmal im wunderschönen Strassberg und haben die ehemaligen Digital-Stempel quasi papierisiert 🤪
Von der Haltestelle Straßberg ging es heute mal zuerst auf den Selketal-Stieg, wenn man eine Runde das …

Haven't been out and about with Komoot for a long time, now I've done the Harzgeröder Kugelspass connecting round of 2024 again. The small brewery in Strassberg is really great!

Beautiful hike in glorious sunshine. Lunch at the Bergschänke Strassberg was excellent, great service despite the full house and the food was very tasty. Advance reservation is advisable.

The tour itself was mostly very nice. However, a few of the paths could use some maintenance and I would also avoid the road sections if possible. There is no hard shoulder and the road itself is quite narrow. But the Selketal is definitely always worth a hike.

After the light rain last night, the sun shone tirelessly from the sky again this morning 🌞 so we too are tirelessly fighting our way towards the hiking emperor...
Around 8 o'clock from the "Grube Glasebach" parking lot, we set off along the mining trail toward Selketalstieg. Another lovely, green hiking trail along the Selkebahntal railway tracks. Unfortunately, we didn't …

Dear travel diary.
Today I was out collecting stamps for the Harz Mountain Badge again. I owe this tour to a travel guide.
I completely messed up the start of the tour. So, you probably have to stay lower down at the beginning. Anyway. My only problem was that I had booked a tour of the show mine for 12:00. …
