NORDPFAD Huvenhoopsmoor

Maxi and I visit the Huvenhoopsmoor north path, hike along the edge of the moor to the observation tower and the moor adventure trail. You can find more information, tips and advice on my website: www.find-the-silence.de

I thought that the savings bank should get rid of its money, the fawn rescue could use the money and did another tour during the WirWunderWanderWoche: the Nordpfad Huvenhoopsmoor can also be hiked in the evening and when it is starting to rain.

Today we hiked the first of the northern paths. Admittedly, not only did the description say that the paths were very well signposted, this one definitely was too! This really caught our attention. Not only were there signs at junctions, but there were always signs on longer “straights” that said “you are still on the right path”. As is often the case on hiking trails, there was rubbish here and there, but it was relatively manageable. We collected a bag full. Except in the Moor Tower, whatever happened there. Relatively noticeable, for a short stretch it was right next to the road, here most of the rubbish was close together and is probably thrown out during the journey... A beautiful route, a beautiful lap with beautiful highlights.

I have been to Huvenhoopsmoor many times, but have never hiked the entire northern path. That was going to change today. With summer temperatures, spring was everywhere🌿🐜🪲🦤 and sometimes even the sun 🌤😁😊

An autumn Sunday as it is in the book! By chance, following the cranes, we land in the Huvenhoopsmoor. You are actually always alone on weekdays, even today, on Sunday, there is not too much activity here. Once again it's a shame that the soundtrack has not yet been installed on Komoot, because: what an array of cranes !! Towards the afternoon the sky was full of meandering bird migration bands, calls from cranes and geese, as well as the occasional green woodpecker, and even a small group of brent geese! After the last few days in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, I felt like at the sea !! ⚓⛵

Today a nice after-work tour through the moor. Great, quiet north path with a lot of variety. The paths are very well maintained. Can only be recommended, although actually every place in nature is unique and recommendable. In terms of time, it was almost a little tight. It's getting dark very early!

Another northern path made it from "planned" to "done" today, and for a good cause as part of the "WirWunder hiking week" campaign. From the starting point S1 at the Glinstedt bell tower, we headed out of the village towards the former peat mining area. Some cotton grass was still in bloom on the banks of the wetlands. The next destination was the Huvenhoopsmoor nature reserve, where a detour to the moor tower offered a great view over the vast moorland. The NP led through forest and fields with a constant beautiful view of the undulating landscape to Gravesstrasse. The following section of asphalt - gravel - asphalt via the Falkenberg rest area to the town at the starting point was more of a "covering distance" motto. Overall, however, a very nice first 2/3, a lot on natural paths that had been mown due to the campaign week 😊. Many rest areas at this NP invite you to take a break, but due to the wind 💨 and the ever-dark clouds, this was too uncomfortable for us today.

The route starts in Glindstedt at the bell tower. The route continues on wide paths that aren't particularly varied; we find neither singletrack nor enchanted paths on this northern path. The absolute highlight of this hike is indeed the Moorturm (Moor Tower), from which you have a wonderful view over the Huvenhoopsmoor. Especially now in autumn, when the cranes can be seen at sunrise and sunset, it's an impressive spectacle, but unfortunately I wasn't able to see it today because I wasn't there at the right time; perhaps another time. But this little detour to the Moorturm (Moor Tower) is really beautiful. Otherwise, this northern path isn't very busy, and you really find peace and quiet on this hike. I noticed today that autumn is beginning. Chestnuts, acorns, and falling leaves. I found this northern path rather mediocre. But I would still do it again. My recommendation: You can do it, but you don't have to.
