After the holidays, birthday and Mother's Day, finally back on the road 😊
It was a very nice walk through fields and small dirt roads 👍

October 10, 2025,Selketalstieg Etappe 1: Stiege - Güntersberge🚂🥾🌲🥰

I'm sitting on the Selketalbahn, traveling from Quedlinburg into the Harz Mountains, all the way to Stiege. It's the route I'll be hiking in five stages from today, in the opposite direction – the Selketalstieg.

Two hours of bumpy rides through stunning scenery, with plenty of soot and the hooting of the steam locomotive lie ahead of me. I'm as …

April 10, 2023,Selketal-Stieg - Tag 1: Stiege - Güntersberge (HWN 55, HWN 172)

Today we finally started our long-awaited tour through the Selketal. Day 1 was very varied with nice weather:
The Selke initially meanders romantically as a trickle through the valley. From dark wooded areas to open spaces with a panoramic view, everything was there. Only the Easter excursionists on their 🏍️ were a little disturbing, since the route is very close …

Hello friends,
First of all, things don't always turn out the way you expect. First, we pass the stop and have to go back, and later we realize that the return trip on the steam locomotive wasn't valid with our ticket. This meant another two and a half hours of waiting and more walking; all of this in 28-degree heat, …

February 25, 2023,Wanderung: MM-Challenge Tour 36 / Stiege/Güntersberge/Breitenstein/Stolberg Teil 1 10,5km 2 HWN

In the snowstorm, the GPS/Komoot didn't want to go as planned and so the "interesting" values came around on the tour ^^
Luckily I noticed it early.

Checked it again and the data should be correct:

10.5 km and 6.5 km/h
