After all the treats of the past few days, today was meant to be a farewell hike. The options ranged from 500 meters to 18 kilometers. With a fond glance, we chose a hike near Ballenstedt. There were still two stamps to collect there that hadn't quite fit into our previous hikes. The starting point was the hiking parking lot …

We started at the castle in Ballenstedt (day ticket €3) which was very crowded today on Easter Sunday. It was an all-round beautiful tour with pleasant paths and many ponds that invite you to linger 😊 and the sun was a constant companion. Highly recommended 👍🏻

With a pleasant 22 degrees Celsius and overcast skies, we set out to stamp. The scenery was quite varied, but the umbrella (something like a stamp in the void) was a welcome addition. Both artificial lakes are beautiful to look at. And the sun 🌞 even came out.

Yes, yesterday after the Elm walk we did another board walk🥾😂, we found porcini mushrooms and parasol mushrooms. According to the mushroom advice (🤷🏼‍♂️) the time for porcini mushrooms is now over😉. Despite everything, a really nice route in the best weather😉

Nice round with 3 stamps, at the Harzer Grauwacke (HWN 61), I met Marco, had a nice chat and see you at the E.M.T.I. in Wernigerode again. We had already met in Thale. 😃

The weather was very pleasant and sunny.
Nevertheless, it was also fresh, if you took a short break it got a bit cool 😅
