I dedicate this hike to my friend Jaqueline 😥, who passed away tonight and who loved her homeland, the Valais Alps, above all else. 🥰

October 4, 2025,Wanderung bei Riefensbeek im Harz

Today I set off in rain, strong winds, and visibility below 25 meters due to fog, and collected two HWN stamps.
The route was very short, but you can't choose the weather.
I can still recommend the highlights.

The steepest climb to the Hanskühnenburg. But today the sun was shining brightly for the first time in a long, long time and we were in the sun the whole time. Wonderful.

We continued along the Elefantenweg🐘 to Auerhahnplatz and the Hanskühnenburgklippe. Took a break 🍎 and enjoyed the view👀. From there it was not far to Hanskühnenburg. From there it was downhill again to …

September 19, 2023,Harz: Kammschlacken - Eleonorenblick - Hanskühnenburg (HWN 144, 147)

From Osterode we continued to Kammschlacken and finally climbed a few meters in altitude again. 😉 We first went to the Eleonorenblick, a rest area with a refuge and a wonderful view through the valley towards the Sösetalsperre. We spontaneously decided to continue to Hanskühnenburg, where we continued uphill for another few kilometers to over 800 m. The paths here …

Now we have done it too. 🥂🍾
The last stamp in the magazine and now Wanderkaiser.👸
The Hanskühneburg is a very beautiful building with simple but good home cooking and delicious cakes. It was the grand finale today.
However, you need to have good lungs for the steep climb. 😅 Luckily we only walked down it.

Nice round from the P at the barbecue area above Hanskühnenburg. The first third was paved, wide paths, then only beautiful natural paths. The climb is moderate, but the descent is sometimes very steep.
Really fun.
