View of Osterode

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view from up there. The ascent is a bit exhausting due to the constant uphill, but it is definitely worth it. Up there at the hut you can also take a nice little break.

May 18, 2023,WSK 2020-06 Sösetalsperre und Köte Schindelkopf (HWN 143)

I usually associate the Köte Schindelkopf with a visit to the Hanskuehnenburg. I've been there in winter on cross-country skis, so a separate round for the Köte. First past the vantage point, which was already a hiking stamp box and then up towards Köte. A beautiful ascent, always associated with views of the dam. The descent surprised me positively: A …

October 19, 2024,Von der Sösetalsperre zur Köte Schindelkopf

I was out and about in the Harz with my best hiking buddy for the first time in a long time. There were two scattered stamps to hunt for. The first was at the Köte on the Schindelberg. The start and finish was the Sösetalsperre. From there it was a steady and sometimes steep climb; the view was rarely beautiful. …

Vacation... actually thought differently than it is now... but switching is my middle name 🤣🤣🤣

So backpack packed and off with the speedster to the Harz mountains.
Destination - Sösetalsperre
When we got there, the weather was already nice 🌤. First we went to the donkey place. With this decision, I had my morning exercise gone right away... steep …

June 18, 2026,OHA: Feenhöhe 🎆🧚, Schindelkopf HWN 143, Sösetalsperre

I had left it open for myself today whether I would hike the small round only to the Schindelkopf or the large one with Hanskühnenburg. After the first 100hm, it was clear that with this humidity, Hanskühnenburg would have to wait.
Nevertheless, it was a worthwhile round to Feenhöhe with a special stamp for the 20th anniversary and to Schindelkopf …

Now we're at 195, and we're still missing 27 😳🫅.

The alarm went off at 4:00 a.m., and we had three tours planned for today🐕😊🌞.

But given the weather and the heat, I decided to do one and head home, for the good of Benji 🐕 and me.

March 10, 2025,🌸 Frühlingstour vom Sösestausee zur Feenhöhe, Köte Schindelkopf und Eselsplatz

Today I just had to take advantage of the good weather again. 😊🌸
The special stamp Feenhöhe should be there before it leaves its post in mid-April. The climb to Köte Schindelkopf continued briskly and from there to the top of the mountain. Back at the car park along the beautiful dam, there was a brisk climb up to Eselsplatz. …

🥾🥾

The plan for today was to collect Nico's forgotten stamp first as far as the Sösetalsperre, a round there and then to Scharzfeld. Since it is a long journey, get out early after all the preparations.
Go out at the Regensteinblick rest area to check the weather, because it was raining 🙄. Hm... rain until 10.00 a.m.... what now... …
