The Corona-Pandemie still prevails and it is still lockdown. But I never tire of insisting on finding new hiking or bicycle touring destinations. This time I find my luck east of Königslutter, where the giants live, at Rieseberg (giant’s mountain). And there is not only a hill but also a moor and an adventure trail. The street king of Rieseberg
Just the crown was missing otherwise we would have met the incarnation: the Frog King of the Lammer Holz! The stupidest thing: I did not even try to find out whether it is a enchanted prince! What a wasted opportunity! Well, at least I have my Braunschweig horse whisperer with me, who saves us just a couple of minutes later
Lo and behold! A local football club sets a good example and simply turnst he gender gab upside down. It utterly states „Ladies first“ in its true sense. Being a woman you are litterally pampered. For a season ticket you pay three times less than men! That’s what I call a nice treat. Well the intention behind is clear though,

From an online portal we downloaded a description of a corresponding hiking trail, called “through the Heide at Gifhorn”. We modify the course a little bit.
Life is a journey not a destination, that is the motto of my blog. Now I witnessed a déjà-vu with this slogan. I did not only rediscover this dictum on the van of an adventurous driver but also on a mountainbike-tour through springlike Braunschweig’s surroundings. It does not matter whether it is about roasted canards, upright brick layers or a
Shortly before the beginning of the announced third Corona-wave there is only one thing that helps: schnapps and snipes. A hike through the Schnapstal at the edge of the Harz can bring some relief, especially as other melodious names are on our way: Tränkebachtal, Schnepfenplatz, Futterplatz and Sautalsköpfe. That sounds like a promising hike around Seesen. On this pre-springlike saturday
There is a change in weather to come from ice cold temperatures to springlike degrees. It is still cold in the morning about minus 15 degree. During the day the sun is able to lift the tempertures above the freezing point. It is february the sun is already quite powerful and that is exactly the reason why this weather conditions
