April 3, 2024,Wanderung Eckertalsperre und Molkenhaus

Today we started our first tour in the Harz for this year and collected stamps number 1 and 169. Light drizzle from above and plenty of water from below accompanied us. Part of the route was asphalt, the natural paths were great.

January 31, 2026,Harz 🥶 Winterwanderung Bad Harzburg 🥶 - Radauwasserfall - Eckertalsperre

After some back and forth, we finally set off on a little hike this morning 🥾...it's so cold 🥶.

Our destination was the Radau Waterfall near Bad Harzburg...rumor had it that it was almost completely frozen. So we bundled up and off we went 🚗.

I think the pictures speak for themselves 😍 what a sight!

A wonderful tour in autumn. The paths were easy to walk on and brightly colored. We also had beautiful views of the Brocken, the Eckertal and Bad Harzburg. At the Molkenhaus we were able to fortify ourselves with buttermilk and currrywurst / french fries.
