August 9, 2023,Vom Burgberg zur Rabenklippe
Since we took the cable car up the Burgberg, you have to deduct about 500m of distance and 150m of altitude difference from the recorded route.

Today we went to Bad Harzburg to float with the BaumSchwebeBahn from the Großer Burgberg to the treetop path. That's the plan. Unfortunately, masses of people took the cable car up the mountain and were all standing in front of us. So we walked the entire loop, which wasn't bad. The treetop path is really beautifully laid out and worth …

Sunday hike with 2 colleagues:
After about 1.5 hours by car, we started at the parking lot of the Burgberg cable car in Bad Harzburg. Arrived on the big castle hill, there was a fantastic view at the Cannossa column. From here we hiked towards Rabenklippe, past a lot of dead wood in beautiful weather and lots of sun. In …

It's a shame that Komoot keeps logging me out.
I don't feel like describing the tour again now.
Unfortunately I got to the cable car too late.
Unfortunately not the light clouds that were promised.
Unfortunately the hut at Rabenklippe is full.
The bus is still going to Rabenklippe this weekend and hasn't had a winter break yet.

We see very varied areas of the forest. We saw a lynx in the enclosures.

The starting point was the pedestrian bridge in Bad Harzburg. I actually wanted to take the cable car to the castle hill, but I didn't have a mask with me! This made the ascent to the castle hill a bit more strenuous, but at least I could breathe freely!

we had chosen the lynx trail. The weather today started sunny and slightly cloudy. We went up with the cable car 🚠. Once at the top it was totally windy. The cable car staff said the weather wasn't nice for hiking. But I didn't think it was bad today. Halfway through the tour it started to snow ... a forest …
