Hey everyone,

Here's the tour!

October 23, 2022,Cafe Goldberg: HWN 117, 118 & 120

Even today, the "1100 Years Goslar" booklet wanted to be filled. Originally it was supposed to go from the Okerhaus to Romkerhall and back over the cliffs. Total chaos in the Okertal: paths closed and not a single parking space free. So it was spontaneously rescheduled and an older tour by Bücherfee was started. Starting from Café Goldberg, the three …

Infinite expanses - a witch's broom lands off the cliffs!
But first things first: on the way there I had to find out when refueling ⛽ that my EC card had been removed from my wallet without permission 😬 After that, the parking lots in the Okertal were already overcrowded, so I rearranged them at short notice and chose the …

Today out with friends. Around the Cafe Goldberg ☕️🍰 nice round with a few obstacles, but that you currently have to climb over trees 🌳 or go under them 🤷 ♀️ is just the way it is. We now also have the Elfenstein stamp 🙂.

April 24, 2022,Von Café Goldberg Elfenberg Schlackental (Kästeklippenrundweg)

Today there was a relaxed round on the Kästeklippenrundweg from Café Goldberg 🍰☕️ to leave after yesterday.
At the same time, we took the HWN120 at Elfenberg with us.
After a bit of a search and Baummikado we went to the Huthberg and the view of the witch's kitchen.
That's where we met @Martina und Nuki - Vaga Imperatrix I. …

August 19, 2022,Kästeklippentour (HWN 118)

Beautiful tour, signposted with a photo of the rock that is the end goal of the hike, the Old Man from the Mountain, which is part of the Kästeklippen. The signage could be better though, better to follow the map. The walk offers great views, but also reveals alarge number of empty slopes and dead spruce trees, a devastating result …

Swimming quality: 👎🏻
Kneipp quality: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Today we did something that was overdue 😎 Mistress is such a Kästeklippen fangirl and to this day we have actually never done the complete official Käseklippen tour, i.e. the originals that the old man from the mountains so nicely signs. 🙄 So yes, my mistress has hugged and admired all the cliffs individually …
