Ellrich Town Forest

Highlight • Forest

A beautiful forest, there is a lot to discover and the signage is also exemplary. You can gain quite a bit of altitude here.

Reversible oak (HWN 165)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The old turning body has fallen over in the meantime. You can still see the remains of the old spiral staircase that long ago allowed visitors to climb to the platform in the treetop.

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the end of the Limberg valley is the "Rote Schuss" (505 meters high), stamp point of the HWN No. 90.

The terrain slopes very steeply towards the valley side. …

Unfortunately the dog had to be put on a leash...because of an outbreak of fox deer

Finally a free day again...due to the heat that was forecast, I decided to do a smaller hike 🥾.
I headed towards Ellrich relatively unprepared and what can I say 🤩 for someone who is interested in history, it was a great hike.

Very nice winter hike. The start was the forest car park in Ellrich. From here it went uphill to the first stamping point (Roter Schuss, HWN 90). On beautifully snow-covered hiking trails, we continued to the Wendel-Eiche stamping point (HWN 165) and the stepmother's stamping point (HWN 164). From now on it went downhill via the special postmark station Zwei-Länder-Eiche …

A beautiful, varied tour, although there are some steep sections just before the Wendeleiche and the Rote Schuss, where it's easy to slip. The zigzag path down from the Rote Schuss, on the other hand, is no problem.

Absolutely beautiful route. The paths are very beautiful, but also exhausting.
It is partly very good uphill. You will be rewarded with a beautiful view.

Today we went to Ellrich. Nice round, with great views of the southern Harz foreland and the Brocken, in the local forest. There were three stamps and one special stamp on the former German-German border.

To hike in the opposite direction, the inclines would be pretty steep. Not necessarily recognizable in the height profile. You also have to like the romanticism of the columns. The view of the landscape at the Roten Schuss is very beautiful and the hut there is also very well-kept and lovingly furnished. I haven't seen anything like it before.

So I collected stamps again, the weather wasn't so good, but dry... the hike was very quiet, great paths a lot up and down and up and down again 😃🤣😃..... but the peace and quiet, the views... what you can see could....just great.....now let's get home something to eat and put our feet up😉
