Well, I have to say that you definitely have to visit this place at least once. In addition to the beautiful view, there are also numerous other things to do such as a playground, a chair lift, etc.

After my dear @Kathleen said this tour was a real adventure, I had to try it out today...
Maybe she just wanted to kill the little fat asthmatic... - I don't know for sure...😂
Well, she wasn't exaggerating... Quite steep climbs and lots of trees to climb over or walk under...
Despite that, or perhaps because of that, it's absolutely …

Just in time ⏰️ for the start of the weekend, winter arrived with a lot of snowfall❄️. We started our winter round🔄 from the fairytale forest🌲🌳🍂🍃 on the outskirts of Bad Sachsa🏘. Right at the beginning we had to accept a detour↩️🙄 because the path to the first stamp office ♟️2️⃣2️⃣0️⃣ was closed⛔️. So↔️ our tour was extended a bit. …

So, the third day of 4 is done. It was a bit more strenuous but very nice. The climbs were steep, and some small paths were almost too overgrown. Afterwards we had a lovely meal with the group and now we chatted a bit in the FeWo.

Since Wandermaus likes to hike, Saturdays are always hiking days 🏔💚
With “hot Tüüpen” 😉 on the road, you won’t be bothered at all 💞
A nice round, stamped six times (220, 161, 159, 158, 43, building stamp Ravensberg),
and jostled with schnapps, Mausi thinks that's really brilliant, and says: "Thanks Harz, see you next time"👋🐭
