November 26, 2023,Spaziergang auf dem Lavespfad

Hello folks. This annual kale hike took place on the Laves path near Derneburg. For the first time with three generations from 7 weeks to 67 years, everything was there. Until recently, Derneburg Castle belonged to the artist Baselitz. The current owner has opened it for exhibitions.

It started near the campsite on a small dirt road towards Derneburg. We then followed the Laves culture path towards the pyramid mausoleum and the Greek temple. Very nice path, especially now in autumn when all the trees are colorful. It is also pleasantly quiet. Highly recommended for a short hike after work.
