Summer time is garden time. The wonderful idea of an „open garden gate“ is not only offered at Braunschweig but also at Hildesheim. Such an oasis was presented last sunday by the couple Lagershausen. Lucky enough the garden visit could be combined with a marvellous hike starting at the parking lot Glashütte. Additionally the weather was also nice. After a

Whereas the white stuff only lasts until morning, the Harz allures with the picture of a winter wonderland.

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.

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”.
