After the hiking trail around Creuzburg, it was a short but crisp climb to the Heldrastein - a former listening station that was converted into a lookout tower (great all-round view 🤩👌) - and then to the Hüneburg - without a castle or ruins, but also with a great view 😉

The climb is not easy. Strenuous, but definitely doable. The many stairs are quite challenging. The route wasn't very long, but it was high. 😂 Unfortunately, it rained on our hike today. We had to be very careful not to slip. From the top, you have a beautiful view of the former border villages along what is now the Green …

164 steps lead up to the tower.
It can make you feel dizzy.
When you get to the top, …

If you park here, the tour starts right away, because the stairway to the Heldrastein or to the beautiful view of Hüneburg begins here. At first it is …

July 31, 2024,Heldrastein steil. Neuer Pfad. Relikte Grenzregime

In the sultry heat: slowly up the stairway: opportunities to admire the geological formations and biological curiosities.
I was amazed and shocked by the bus on the L 2109, which leads to the Heldrastein hiking car park. About 5 years ago it looked as if the road was going to grow over!
Anything but overgrown is a path that I …
