Winter keep its pecker up this year. Even mid march temperatures are still single-digit and snow still falls into the lowlands. Whereas the white stuff only lasts until morning, the Harz allures with the picture of a winter wonderland. By nature, Brocken and Wurmberg secrete for a visit on the weekend, unless you like mass gatherings. Fortunately there are more
It could be a resolution for the new year: Get out and hike! Maybe that’s what the rambling club of Lutter am Barenberge was thinking of when they errected the sign with the statement above Nauen. But not only New Year’s Day, also the time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve will be bridged in a sportive way. Finally the
Our today’s hiking tour takes us around cloister and manor Riechenberg. The former Benedictine cloister is located at the gates of Goslar close to the industrial estate “Baßgeige”.

The New Year’s hike becomes in its second year slowly but surely an inherent part of the last day of the years. Next to the Wilhlem Busch excursion in 2020 we hike in the Leinebergland this time, more precisely on the Duinger ridgeway. 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
Once again thick, monotonous grey lies above the city. It is a dark and heavy haze which lies above all, swallows all the light and makes this day gloomy and dull.
