April 4, 2022,Mal andere Wege gehen in der Asse - trotz 🌧🌬🥶- viele Frühblüher - Runde ab Parkplatz Wittmar

It is unbelievable, a wandering family from the Salzgitter district must first come and show me, who lives almost next to the Asse, that there are other ways to go than the well-known and popular laps.
Thanks to Bucherfee and Thore for being here yesterday and going your own way!

After work we went to the parking lot in Wittmar, where we walked up the Liebesallee to the Bismarkturm and the Asseburg. From there we followed the path in a zigzag and up and then down again to Sola Gratia. Now back to the parking lot, that was the end of the round.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you …

There are all nice single trails to walk, it's always nice and easy up and …

Great hike. Partly steep uphill, but the view is worth it. Lots of benches with a beautiful view to take a break on. The climb up the tower is also worth it.
Don't forget your stamp booklet :)

There are said to be 243 Bismarck towers in Germany, 15 of them in Lower Saxony (source: bismarcktuerme.net). It's high time to visit one of them. And the one in Wismar has the charm that you can climb it. And very close by is the Asseburg. Today a ruin with a rather special flair. And what else? Beautiful beech forest, …

January 19, 2025,Durch die winterliche Asse

Today we went to Wittmar in the Wolfenbüttel district to do a short hike in the wintery Asse in inversion weather conditions. My daughter accompanied us today. From the starting point, the first 900m are the best: Liebesallee, Bismarck Tower, lookout point and the Asseburg ruins, you can't get any better than that.
At the Asseburg we were also able …
