November 23, 2024,Durch das Habichtstal 🦅 Po 2 (Polle) mit WS 5

The official Po 2 round trip of the Solling-Vogler region, to get stamp no. 5 "Habichtstal" 🥵 along the way. And what can I say: I was lucky 🍀🍄 and actually heard the call of the hawk navigating elegantly through the beech trees outside the season 🐣, even without the help of the installed tin whistle, and saw it in …

Swimming quality: 👍🏻
Kneipp quality 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The first day of vacation began with a faint crackle in the air – not from the weather, but from anticipation. My mistress had chosen Polle in the Weser Uplands, and I was ready for adventure. We parked right on the Weser, and I could hardly believe it: my very first visit to this …

August 7, 2025,WILDE HEIMAT: IM Habichtstal Polle Po2

Tour 2: Habichtstal from Polle. While I was looking for the hiking parking lot, I approached a local from Polle, who immediately recommended two other hiking routes they preferred. I was almost tempted to change my plans, if it weren't for that stupid stamp I was still trying to collect.
And indeed, the trail was deserted, as the Polle residents …

March 2, 2025,Polle: Durch das Habichtstal

From midday onwards the 🌞 appeared here in the Weserbergland and prepared a wonderful first Sunday in March. ☺️

The village of Polle on the Upper Weser is dominated by the castle ruins of the Counts of Everstein. Until the 20th century it formed a Hanoverian exclave in the state of Braunschweig together with Bodenwerder.

I was still missing the tour for the last stamp. After 10 stamps, you get a badge, and after 50, a certificate.

21 people have already managed to stamp all the stamps in the booklet before me.

May 17, 2025,Schöne Runde durch das Habichtstal

Parking in Polle on the Weser, I first walked through the still sleepy village. Then I continued along a wonderful field path with a small stream to the Knickmühle mill. Once across the country road, I entered the forest to the Habichtstal valley. 🥾🥾 A beautiful hiking trail to the stamping point, with a nice uphill climb. 🫣. Once back …

August 5, 2025,Nach Polle, Fährstraße

The route was reasonably good. The paths were great for walking and the trail was peaceful through the beautiful forest. The sun finally came out again today, and the air was truly refreshing. The dogs enjoyed the brook babbling along the side. It was really great.
Unfortunately, the observation tower at the checkpoint is completely demolished 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ There are people …
