August 7, 2022,Tag 1 🐏 Heidschnuckenweg für Schnecken 🐌(Rosengarten)

A wonderfully sunny day, the heather is in bloom. A wedding couple at a photo shoot. It was almost cheesy. In no time I was drenched in sweat. The sun burned mercilessly from the cloudless sky. That was the other side of the coin. Luckily there was a light breeze and the Heidschnuckenweg meandered alternately through heathland and forest. That …

November 3, 2023,🇩🇪 Heidschnuckenweg light: E01-1 – Von Fischbek nach Rosengarten

Today I started hiking the Heidschnuckenweg with Jürgen over a long weekend. I divided the first stage into two and we stayed in the Waldhuuske. Very nice café with very tasty cakes and a small menu with warm and Dutch dishes.

April 1, 2025,Heidschnuckenweg(1a) Langenrehm - Fischbek

We started our 5th H-Weg tour in Langenrehm. The first 9km were mostly uphill and downhill, mostly on small, beautiful paths through forests. The last few kilometers were through the Fischbek and Wulmstorf Heaths. We took breaks at Karlstein and in the heath. Finally, we had a coffee with cousin Christiane before she drove us back to our car.

Start: HVV bus 240, Fischbeker Heuweg
Destination: HVV bus 4210 Kabenweg, Langenrehm
Start time: 06.45 am

The stage actually goes to Buchholz, which I shortened by half because of the humidity and the lack of strength

Nevertheless, a nice tour, first the Fischbeker Heide, then the forest in the rose garden.

The outstanding part will be made up for shortly.

After months of planning, our @Heidschnucken Staffellauf started at around 6 a.m. this morning from the parking lot in Fischbek.

This is where the Heidschnuckenweg begins with its 1st stage and our 1st Schnuckment.

Accompanied by @Merwie and @Grete, we set about tackling the 220 kilometers of the Heidschnuckenweg with full vigour.

November 25, 2024,HH Neugraben - Langenrehm

This week I want to finish hiking the Heidschnuckenweg. This will be my last long tour this year. It doesn't bother me that nature has almost calmed down... and brownish tones predominate. But I will have plenty of peace and quiet... I started today in Hamburg - Neugraben and hiked to Langenrehm. I still missed this section. First I went …

September 15, 2022,von Fischbek nach Langenrehm auf dem Heidschnuckenweg

Today the journey via TOP public transport and the start of the hike is around 11:00 a.m. In the chat with the bus driver Nenad we found a great start to our way. Right at the beginning, when entering the Fischbeker Heide, we were surprised by a dreamy Erika feast for the eyes. We followed our gut feeling, which advised …
