June 16, 2024,Güntersburg bei Güntersberge

When I was in the area, I parked at the mountain lake again and went up to the remains of the Güntersburg. I got my stamp and then passed the Katzsohlteich. A perfect fit.

Today the sky was crying. The tour around the mountain lake with a detour to Günterburg (BD) was very wet. Shoes, trousers and socks were very wet. But at least there was one (actually two) stamp. The one from the castle was a themed stamp.

Tour around the mountain lake in Güntersberge with a detour to the Katzsohlteich (HWN. 172) and to the Güntersburg (special stamp), the last remains of the wall of which, however, could not be seen in the tall grass.

September 19, 2023,HWN 172 - Rund um den Katzsohlteich

Nice little loop around the Katzsohlteich in Güntersberge.
I also picked up the Güntersburg stamp for the stamp booklet: Harz Castles & Palaces.
Short but nice😃
