Today we visited Dickie Hoppenstedt 🤭 The allusion to the legendary Loriot sketch "Christmas at the Hoppenstedts" that @Bücherfee mit 👑chen once started has now become a tradition here 😅

Heute ging es nach Hoppenstedt. Frauchen hatte den Wanderparkplatz übersehen, aber unser Stahlross stand fünf Meter weiter am Feldrand genauso stolz wie wir. Von dort stapften wir los, hinein in die Stille der Wiesen, die uns zum Kammweg führten. Im Frühling ist dieser Weg ein einziges Fest, denn hier blühen die Adonisröschen — kleine goldene Sonnen, …

October 5, 2022,Kammweg am kleinen Fallstein mit Freunden

We start our hike with Susanne and Jörg in Hornburg.
Hornburg is a pretty half-timbered town in the Harz foothills.

The path leads us uphill a little, then always on the ridge path.

The weather is fantastic and the foresight is great. We always have a view of the Brocken on one side and Osterwiek im Tal on the other.
