Rest area with a great view of the Kyffhäuser Mountains

At this point, there is a very beautiful viewing bench and also a nice covered rest area. So sit down, refuel, and enjoy the sensational view towards Thuringia.

The Quest of Questenberg (HWN 212)

Highlight • Monument

The quest looks so interesting from below, perched on top of the mountain, that you just have to go up there to see it up close. Admittedly, the climb is …

Questenberg Glacial Potholes

Highlight • Natural Monument

It was originally assumed that these were Ice Age glacial potholes. In fact, this is the former riverbed of the Nasse, which has changed its path over time.

August 24, 2021,HWN: klein Runde um Questenberg/Südharz (212, 213, 210 )

We started in Questenberg at the turning point. The quest cross (212) can already be seen from below. It's a short and sweet climb through the gypsum landscape, but you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view. We then continued through the forest along the karst hiking trail to the Bauerngraben (213), a creek sinkhole at the mouth of the Glasebach, …

A lot of things went wrong on the longest tour today. Instead of walking up the HWN Queste, we went to the Questenburg ruins and then the special stamp was broken there too 😢😡. So we went back down and up the other side. Of course we took the steep path, which was shorter but not much faster due to …

Our first day's hike took us uphill in a relaxed manner to stamping point 210. It is called "beautiful view" but the views of the beautifully colored autumn leaves and the bulging apple trees were nicer up there than at the top. Here there are cows with bells 😳, just like in the Allgäu. My sweetheart fed all the "organized" …
