This saturday we are starting a hike around Scharzfeld. On our list are the Steinkirche on top of the Steinberg, der Große Knollen, the Einhornhöhle and the ruins of the castle Scharzfeld. With about 17km and 600 metres difference in altitude the tour is quite challenging and long. Unfortunately en route a hyetal region upset our plans, so that we
My little black mountain bike stands uneasy in my basement, it needs exercise, so do I. After our so-so experience yesterday with our bike tour to the Salzgittersee I give it a second attempt. I choose the trail of the Braunschweiger Jakobsweg in order to go to Lengede and maybe later on also to Hoheneggelsen. I accidentally spotted the signposting
On this saturday we are planning on a tour tot he Salzgittersee, which is a man-made lake serving as a local recreation area. A friend of mine suggested this trip. Good idea I think to myself, I have not been there so far. At the end of the tour we agree upon the impression: „Never again Salzgitter.“ On the way
Three things at a time, you think that is not possible? It is, at the Asse: Liebesallee, Bismarckturm und Asseburg are the hightlights close to the namesake disposal zone.

On my latest tour within the Braunschweiger Land I discovered a cycle path to Schladen. According to the distance marker Schladen is only 13 kilometres away from Wolfenbüttel and thus can be reached within a day trip from Braunschweig. However I did not take two things into account: On the one hand the very strong contrary wind that day. On
The holiday motto for this year is clear: holidays at home. Corona changed many things in 2020, a.o. travel plans. Actually I was about to finalize my (South-)East Europe tour with a visit to Rumania. Well, I guess this is not a good idea this year. Therefore I chose Upper-Bavaria, more precise the village “Fall” close to Lenggries. Round about

On the wrong track It is hot in Germany. Jogging is not fun anymore at most in the early morning hours. That’s why I hop on my MTB and explore the cycle paths around Wolfenbüttel, the Oderwald and Salzgitter. Destinations are Salzgitter-Salder with its castle museum on the one hand. On the other hand I bike to Heiningen with its
What was meant to be a small closing time trip turned out to be a veritable foto session within and around Wolfenbüttel. I have not visited the town for a while and I am surprised by now how the city duffed itself. The district town captivates its visitors by art and culture. Another eye-catcher are the numerous half-timbered houses and
It is Christmas again? Fir needles falling softly on the ground in the Upper Harz. I already knew that the tree-population at the Western Harz is endangered. But I did not realize how bad it really is. What is going on? Are we going to lose our forests? On the way fortunately we do not only meet death. Puppets, birds
