Because I couldn't sleep this morning, I set off at 8:15 a.m. On the way there, the car thermometer showed -1.5°C. My mother kept saying "Don't make such a fuss, you're not made of sugar." That probably had more to do with the rain, but the words still resonate.
I'm so glad I set off so early. The frost in …

Clausthal-Zellerfeld today. First always along some moats, which had to be overcome. Then further up to Eselsplatz and Mangelhalber Tor. The first two stamps of a total of 6 today. From here we continued to the Braunseck Hütte. In addition to another stamp, we also found a hiking stone that went with us a bit. He then found a new …

Lynx tracks and flooded paths !! Today a discovery and adventure tour to my taste. I not only discovered the 4 stamps 128, 137, 138 and 145 of the HWN, but also tracks of the Harzer Lynx. I had respect and a strange feeling in my stomach even though I only saw the footprints in the snow. The paths were …

It's nice when komoot and the signposts say the same thing, but unfortunately there weren't really 2 paths and I had to go back.

July 6, 2025,Buntenbock (HWN 127, 128, 137, 138, 139 & 145)

The circular hike near Buntenbock was a true nature experience. For approximately 22 kilometers, the trail led through colorful, fragrant meadows and along narrow, idyllic paths – perfect for escaping everyday life. The diverse landscape and tranquil atmosphere made the tour a special treat. Particularly impressive were the numerous lakes along the route, which – in my opinion – are …

Today we went for a little walk to Buntenbock. From the car park we first went to the Huttaler Widerwaage. My next stop was the Schmidts memorial straight ahead.
On to Braunseck and had a quick rest there.
Past the Bärenbrucher Teich we went to my last stop on this route, the Kuckholzklippe.
After my cramps in Garmisch last week, …
