Between Himmelsthür and Giesener Teiche

New Year’s Eve on the Leineberglandbalkon

The New Year’s hike becomes in its second year slowly but surely an inherent part of the last day of the years.

The hightlight on this 20 km-trip is the visit of the Leinebergland-balcony. High above Marienhagen Our tour

On the hill Schäferstühl close to Salzgitter you cannot only (para-)glide, no, you can also hike on it. I always love to try new distances and discover the unknown. On our 16 km long tour we did not only visit the Liebenburg Castle from the outside but also climb the Hausmannsturm and also the Schäferstuhl and enjoy a coffee break
