Thumkuhlental waterworks (HWN 85)

There is no better way to recreate a historical water feature.
Fully functional and even pumps water from a historic shaft.

September 1, 2024,Stempeljagd in Wernigerode
Hiking again for the first time in a long time. In Wernigerode we went stamp hunting and were able to collect 4 stamps in total. Most of the trail was on wide forest paths, but there were also some lovely narrow paths

A short, spontaneous hike on the third Sunday of Advent.

With a break at the "Steinerne Renne" inn.

Beautiful weather.

Unfortunately, no snow.

Our last "hunt" for this week... We started in Hasserode at the Floßplatz, initially to the impressive Wasserkunst (water art) in the Thumkuhlental. We continued over the treeless Forststrasse (forest road) to the Ottofelsen with its magnificent view. Via the unfortunately still closed Gasthaus Steinerne Renne, we went to the Renneklippen, where we found a bench under a large beech …

The path to the Steineren Renne began in Hasserode at the train station. I was lucky, with only a few minutes of waiting I was able to see the Brockenbahn 🚂.

After crossing the Holtemme three times, the path led uphill on the Bielsteinchaussee into the forest. Unfortunately it was a wide gravel path, which also serves as the entrance …

A farewell tour with at least three stamps was a must today. My holiday goal wasn't to become the Hiking Empress, but the Hiking Queen with 50 stamps 😄🫅. We needed to collect 16 stamps in 5 days, but we managed to get 17, making it 51 ♟️🙏🤗🤗 Goal achieved 💪 🏅
We started our tour at the Lossen Memorial …

From the Thumkhulental car park 👀 7 euros a day ticket for a dirt road 😱 we went to the Ottofelsen and on to the Steinerne Renne and always accompanied by the drizzle 😬 back to the mud parking lot. Despite the light rain 🌧🌧 it was a nice round with 4 stamps as a reward.

The 2nd day in the Harz went to Thumkuhlental. I started at the Lossen monument. After 500 m I was already at the 1st stamp point. We continued to the Ottofelsen, it went steadily uphill. Arrived at the Ottofelsen, a few more steps up and I was on the Ottofelsen. Only the last piece I didn't dare anymore, here there …

An adventurous tour where you can get 4 stamps.

We parked in a free hiking car park. In good weather and on the weekend it's sure to be quite full here.

The first stop was the Thumkuhlental waterworks (HWN 85). Then a long stretch uphill to the Ottofelsen (HWN 27). Here you had to climb quite a bit. But it's …
