Tips from the Community

BAMA
April 4, 2025, Touringen Stamp Station No. 43 – Kurpark Bad Tennstedt

Single stamps, often no highlights, somewhere in the fields and meadows, where hares and hedgehogs usually say goodnight to each other, where thousands now go and are eyed strangely by locals – did it have to be chosen like this? Touringen organizers, it could definitely be done better! Exploring Thuringia is truly interesting and beautiful, we say that so often on the road! You get to places you'd never have strayed into before. But guiding thousands of people to often questionable individual highlights is truly ecologically counterproductive. What were the people in charge thinking? 😳
