September 20, 2025,TOP-Wanderweg Bodenstein in Worbis

From the parking lot at the Glasshouse, the path continued uphill to Bodenstein Castle.
The climb was quite challenging in this weather. After a short rest in the castle courtyard, we walked back over the Bornberg hill through an ancient hornbeam avenue.

March 15, 2026,Frühlingszauber zwischen Burg Bodenstein und Kanstein

Along the "Bodenstein Castle" hiking trail, I immersed myself in the history of the Counts of Wintzingerode.

The Katharinenquelle spring, nestled in the wild garlic forest, and the countless liverworts conjured up a magical springtime atmosphere.

The burial sites and Bodenstein Castle provided the historical context.

And the Kanstein rock formation and the Gelbe Klippe (Yellow Cliff) offered stunning views.

According to the pedometers of both participants, it was 12.1 km - we made a little detour to Bodenstein Castle. It was always "up and down" - a great round with beautiful views in crisp winter temperatures.

In Worbis we just crossed the road and took the bear park. It wasn't the longest route but the landscape was inviting for a stroll. There was a lot to discover, the …

This was another fantastic hiking trail. Through the shady forest with a gentle breeze, the scent of wild garlic, the chirping of birds, and some good conversations with other friendly hikers.
