Circle of linden trees on the Burgberg

On a clear day you can see the Harz mountains and far into the Harz foothills from here. And even if the Harzer hiking nobility stamp no longer exists here, the ridge path between Benzingerode and Heimberg is definitely worth it.

Apple Orchard at Schützenberg

Highlight • Natural

A huge apple tree orchard on the hillside. Apples should only be eaten during apple season, because they taste terrible in summer

Only this group can understand why you let the alarm clock wake you up on Sundays and don't sleep in 😅

I put off this hike for a long time and my advice for Nico today was "Take your sticks with you!!!"
