Nice tour through the southern Harz with some "interesting" sections of the path to put it kindly 😉👋

September 1, 2024,85/2024 Hütten🛖tour mit Südharz ⛰Brocken

Stephanshütte, Stöberhai (peak) and Hassensteinhütte was the mission on Sunday...in retrospect, I would only recommend this tour when the sky is overcast and perhaps in late autumn or spring - due to the lack of shade-giving trees at the current temperatures, it's more of a suicide mission than hiking pleasure. Gravel roads, little vegetation, a kind of prairie feeling with …

The hike began at a car park below Ravensberg and included the three HWN stamping points 161 Stephanhütte, 159 Stöberhai and 158 Hassenstein. There are always impressive views along the way, but unfortunately 95% of the hike is through clear-cut areas. Afterwards, the stamp was collected at Ravensberg for the Baudenstieg booklet.

Today the weather was perfect. Sun, wind, rain and fog clouds. It was blowing really hard on Stöberhai, almost too good for November.

So, our second, but more challenging, tour of today.
The weather was perfect, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, and always a bit of wind😏😄.

The tour was quite OK, very wide paths, good views today and a clear view. We also found enough benches for breaks today ☺️.

It was supposed to be a small tour, but it turned out to be a long and strenuous tour. But it was worth every drop of sweat because of the fantastic views!

Almost only walked on gravel paths 😔
Next time I'd rather go by bike
