We want to gather energy for the end of the year for a few days. To do this, we have chosen a mixture of the Harz and the Romanesque Road. Today we started with Querfurt with its beautiful, historic castle. So that the clock didn't just show 2 km again, my favorite man had to take a little tour of …

despite a stiff breeze and a sky that kept threatening rain ☔️, it was a beautiful and, in terms of information about deserving people who lived in Querfurt, an instructive hike. Thanks to our hiking guide.

Today we combined our hike with a bit of cultural history and visited the little town of Querfurt. The small river Quere, which flows through the village, gave it its name. The historic old town with the farmer houses in the baroque style is very well preserved. The castle also shines in new splendor. Here we visited the castle museum …

Today we looked at the small town of Querfurt with its castle. The entire town center and in particular the castle complex have been beautifully restored. The place is very quiet and "sleepy". The castle houses a nice museum on the history of the castle and an exhibition on knightly orders today. Both are nice to look at. It is …

Last weekend the weather was so nice again that we couldn't stay at home. We actually wanted to go to the Hohe Schrecke, but then we diverted to Querfurt at short notice. And it was really worth it!
Not only did we have a lovely hike through the small valley of the Querne, but we also visited Querfurt Castle and …

February 8, 2025,Rundwanderung in Querfurt 🌬☁️🐴🍂🏰

Today I did the tour from @Tina Halle. I took advantage of the nice weather and the cheap S-Bahn connection. It was a very nice hike. I was able to admire the first winter aconites in the front garden and the snowdrops in the open air. The huge castle complex is also worth seeing. Unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere to …

February 7, 2025,Rundwanderung in Querfurt 🌬☁️🐴🍂🏰

In rather cool and somewhat windy weather, we took the 🚌 (since December there has also been a direct S-Bahn connection) to Querfurt, where we set off on the Mönchtal hiking trail, the Lutherweg and the Burschenweg. A nice little tour, where we discovered interesting and previously unknown things. We had refreshments in the Greek restaurant "El Greco". There was …
