Fossil Limestone Quarry on the Fuchsberg Trail

Highlight • Natural

Idyllic limestone quarry, on a beautiful path, which is certainly easy for seasoned mountain bikers, but for me with ATB and moderate talent but also challenging.

June 11, 2023,Sonntagsabends mit den Jungs zum Bismarckturm 🌞👍

At the end of the 🌞 weekend with the boys to the Bismarck Tower and he was still open. So a little soft drink and off home. This is how Sunday can end 😄

March 26, 2022,erste Ausfahrt zum Bismarckturm

Today first exit up to the Bismarck Tower and a lap around the Reihersee. Everything in the best weather. Beautiful spot right outside the door. Whereby the felling of trees on the ridge does not allow continuous driving. It's still fun. Oh yes, the restaurant at the Bismarckturm is being renovated, opening date n.n. famous

August 10, 2025,Einrollen die Dritte: 🌞🚴‍♂️Bismarckturm & 🍅 von Mutti

Today I went to my mother's house via the Bismarck Tower, where my own harvest of tomatoes 🍅 was waiting for me. I continued on to the Bartelszeche, a former tourist restaurant ☕🍰 in the early 70s, and past the legendary soccer field ⚽there. What was special was that the field 🏟️ had a steep slope, so one half was …

June 4, 2023,kleine Verdunstungsrunde 😄

After all the celebrations shot an evaporation lap today. Who and what you meet/see along the way, see photos.
@Baloucz , meeting them in the same place gets scary 😂
@Wolfgang , the Bismarck Tower/restaurant was open again today. Signs now that it's open at weekends. Here is an article that appeared in the Salzgitter Zeitung yesterday.

April 6, 2025,Hausrunde Reihersee, Bismarckturm, ☀️, 8°C

Today, I took advantage of the sunny and still cool weather. Thanks to the dry weeks, the paths around Reihersee are rock-hard. This time of year is wonderful: the first green shoots, the birds chirp, the woodpeckers tapping, it clears your head.

I collected the three stamps from the nHaVo (northern Harz Foreland) along the route.

September 24, 2022,Frühstücksrunde

Small group before breakfast. This time with support. But it's going uphill 👍😍 Start with 4/5 with 2/5 back. Cracked up nicely in trail mode. And at the same time tried out the running jacket from a well-known coffee roaster. Value for money.

May 13, 2025,🌞🔋🔌🚴🏼‍♂️ Feierabendrunde

After a long time, I finally got my 🔋 donkey moving again. What can I say, it was fun 😜. The only downside is that the Bismarck Tower is closed🔒 and the passage is blocked off ⛔ with tape. It's still OK around the outside. Took the road today 🚴🏼‍♂️💨
