March 26, 2022,Der "Ith" zwischen Lauenstein und Coppenbrügge

Today it was the turn of Ith.
A very beautiful forest with rock and bony trees.
So far I thought that there was a lot of wild garlic growing near Springe, but here there are umpteen times as much.

Nice round. The first half over the ridge path with great vantage points and rock formations. The second part of the route on a mostly wide path. Unfortunately very few resting places such as benches or huts. Picnic was then completed on a rock.

Summer, sun, sunshine 🌞 what could be better?
With this weather this morning, there's almost nothing left to do but go hiking 🥾 again and enjoy the last rays of August sunshine...
The Ith-Hils-Weg is really taking its toll on me at the moment ❤️‍🔥.

Today I finally tackled the last stage on the Ith - Kammweg. I started from the Ithkamm Lauenstein car park in the morning freshness without meeting a soul. It was nice!!! And again a wonderful tour through beautiful deciduous forest under a blue sky and always nicely shaded. Everywhere the enchanting, mystical rock formations with dizzying abysses...

October 3, 2021,Adam und Eva – Teufelsküche Runde von Lauenstein

Today the power-saving and altitude-saving variant of the northern Ith circuit: Start from the Ithstraße hiking car park: above the quarry, access via the Kammweg (Ith-Hilsweg) past the Ith tower, Ith cliffs, Adam and Eve, Teufelsküche, steep, spectacular descent and return the eastern flank. Always beautiful.

Friday night snowfall at -7°, Saturday +1°, sun and cloudless sky, what to do? Get on the Ith what else! Round on northern Germany's most beautiful ridge path in the best weather

Being the first person to leave their footprints in the snow, almost like the moon landing!

July 16, 2023,Auf der Suche nach interessanten Motiven im Ith😉🐝🪨🦋🪨🐌

Today we finally decided on the Ith again for our Sunday hike😀💚😀 because it is beautiful, no matter what time of year.

And to make the hike a little funnier, I tried to find new motifs😉 (partly succeeded🤣). A glider was kind enough to help me with the vantage point!
