August 19, 2025,Heideschleife Müden (Örtze)

It's actually been almost two years since I last hiked a heathland loop, and I've never really had the opportunity to drive all the way to the southern heath to complete the missing loops. Today, however, there were no more excuses, and the two of us set off. Stop one was Müden an der Örtze. With a planned 12.5 kilometers, …

Yes, I've now got up in the middle of the night at 3:15 a.m. two Sundays in a row...
Don't ask 😂
But what can I say: It was more than worth it once again
I just love this peace and quiet in the early morning 🥰

A wonderfully varied route with some beautiful paths through heath, forest and by the stream. Today it was a perfect fit for the time and weather/path conditions. The muddy parts along the Örtze were frozen and easy to walk on. The Heidesee with the afternoon ☀️ is simply a dream 🤩.
For me, a route that is certainly attractive at …

We didn't have as nice a weather as he did and it occasionally drizzled 🌧 from the clouds, but that …

Beloved traditions must be maintained!
So we covered our hungover heads with hats so that our full bellies could be carried through the heath on legs tired from dancing. Standard German: This year our New Year's hike took us to the southern heath to Müden, where we completed the last of the heath loops in a small but cheerful group. …

After two short nights (Fury Open Air and garden party), Ulf's suggestion of a relaxed Heideschleife came in handy.
From the parking lot we went through the heath up to Wietzer Berg.

Then we went through a varied area - in about the same way as the pictures are shown again ...
Lissi was able to cool off for the …
