Highlight • Trail

A small stream is crossed here in the rustic forest.
The path goes uphill to the X 4 or the roller shed. This section of the path is currently a little difficult to walk.

Steimketal Stream

Highlight • River

I really liked the Steimketal. The small stream babbles vigorously and cheerfully down the valley and has literally carved its winding bed into the stone.
The path is nice and shady.

November 6, 2022,Wanderung durch das NSG Totenberg nach Bursfelde

From Löwenhagen via the Totenberg nature reserve to Bursfelde. Autumnal rustling of leaves and wonderful colors 😊. In the monastery, as always, lit candles for yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The beginning of autumn today was a beautiful day 🌞 for a hike in the northern Bramwald!

From the Bursfelde monastery on the Upper Weser, founded in 1093, I circled the 408 m high Totenberg, the highest mountain in the Bramwald. 😄

A dream tour! No restrictions, no tree felling, and no impassable terrain discovered. Unfortunately, as usual, the aluminum failed on the last and most beautiful stage...
