Stamp fever – over and over again

I thought I closed this chapter, the collection of stamps. But then I came across the „Nördliches Harzvorland“ and everything started afresh.

Last saturday I once again discovered something new. We walked the ridge at Salzgitter. Looking for a nice hike in my area I came across this round trip between the Reihersee and the Bismarck-Tower situated between Gebardshagen and Salzgitter-Bad.
