On the trail of the Hochmoorgeist 👻💚🥾🌳 Asta and I were on the Hochmoorgeist circular hiking trail in the Solling Vogler region today. ᵂ̲ᴱ̲ᴿ̲ᴮ̲ᵁ̲ᴺ̲ᴳ̲ @sollingvoglerregion It was fascinating how the light draft made the high moor spirit hover over the small water areas and the cotton grass in the Mecklenbruch high moor. 🪵🌳🌲

April 21, 2026,Mit den Hochmoorgeistern durch die „Wilde Heimat“
On our drive to the Teutoburger Wald, we took a break in Silberborn to do a lap in the „Wilden Heimat“ in the Solling.
Starting point was the „Mecklenbruch“ parking lot.
We hiked on the well-signposted S1 Hochmoorgeist hiking trail, initially on the panoramic path through a picturesque, sun-drenched fir forest, which in my opinion is still intact, up to …

November 30, 2024,Silberborn: Hochmoorgeist
The last day of November brought coolness and 🌞, a wonderful combination for a short walk in the Hochsolling. 😊

The circular trail "Hochmoorgeist", signposted as S 1, leads around the village of Silberborn on mostly beautiful paths with relatively little inclines.
Special highlights are the Mecklenbruch raised moor and the Hochsolling tower, but the trail also offers some other …

Today we went to Silberborn in the Solling. Great weather and a wonderful snowy landscape awaited us. The S1 trail was very well signposted and easy to walk. There were wonderful views along the way and the climb up the Hochsolling tower was really worth it.

December 21, 2025,S1 Hochmoorgeist Rundweg
The Hochmoorgeist S1 circular trail is one of the "wild" tours through the Solling hills, perfect for stamp collectors. I hiked it last winter, but because it's so beautiful, it's now a regular part of my routine.

Super recommendable 8.5 km loop around Silberborn. Great views, Heck cattle, sculpture path, moor path and hiking trails that are just fun! The signage makes the cell phone unnecessary during the hike (except for photos :-)).

January 11, 2026,S1 Hochmoorgeist im Solling
Today we hiked the Hochmoorgeistweg trail in the Solling hills again. Since we've hiked it several times before, we decided to mix things up and hiked it in the opposite direction 🤪. The hike in the snow at -10 degrees Celsius and glorious sunshine was really fun and highly recommended.

Early in the morning or late on cool afternoons, you might catch a glimpse of him hovering above the water and cotton grass in the Mecklenbruch raised bog: the raised bog ghost. Or is it just a fine veil of mist? Experience the mysticism on this varied circular hike for the whole family. From the parking
