January 6, 2022,Wernigerode 🥾👫👀HWN 34,35+36.

Today hiked 3 stamp points of the Harz hiking needles
The weather today couldn't have been better, it was cold 🥶, but it was wonderful in the sun.
Nice circular route that you can also cycle with the MTB.
(I'll come back later)

October 16, 2022,96. Wanderung, von Wernigerode über den Kaiserturm zur Talsperre

Start was early this morning at the hotel. We hiked in the direction of the Armeleuteberg and then on to the Kaiserturm. Here we enjoyed the great view and then walked further over the Scharfenstein in the direction of the dam. The way to the dam dragged a bit and we were happy to finally see the water surface.

As is so often the case, the real highlights on this tour weren't the stamping points, but in this case the Harburg with the Bismarck tower and especially the Kaiserturm as the end of the Rapunzel fairy tale trail. We were lucky with the weather and could enjoy the fantastic view.

Have I ever sung the praises of the East Harz? This tour is also simply wonderful. Start from the hiking car park, good paths along the Zillierbach, a nice stop at the Armeleuteberg restaurant, amazing views from the Rapunzel tower and a rustic way back to the car. Great!

With pleasant temperatures we are today from the Mühlental hiking car park in Wernigerode always along the Zillierbach in the direction of the dam.
Since we hiked this not too long ago, we turned beforehand and walked to the Armeleuteberg inn. A nice restaurant with good food and delicious drinks.
After a relaxed rest we went to the adjacent Kaiserturm. …
