June 19, 2025,Bismarckturm🗼& Burgruine Asseburg🏰 Kammweg ab Gr. Denkte [Nr.2]

I've become addicted to stamps ♟️♟️♟️. After the Harz Hiking Badge and Holstein Switzerland, I'm now continuing with the booklet for the northern Harz Foreland. Today's tour took us along many paths and offered panoramic views. It was a fantastic hiking trail. Three major highlights were the Bismarck Tower and the Asseburg ruins, where you'll also find stamp point number …

We spontaneously went to the Asse recreation area, a surprisingly hilly forest area. Beautiful circular route, past the salt mine, it was quite steep uphill a few times. The Bismarck Tower and the old Asseburg (only remains) were also interesting.

The start was at the Asse parking lot in Falkenheim 🚘. First, after the initial climb 🥵, we went straight along the Philosophenweg to the south-eastern end of the ridge. After the U-turn with a view of Remlingen 🏘, I soon reached the Asse …

Originally, a tour closer to home was planned, but on Saturdays we can go a little further afield and so we ended up in the Asse. 🏰
We had been here several times in the past, so we recognized many corners. The tough climbs were still there too. 🥵

May 14, 2022,durch das Naherholungsgebiet Asse

Inspired by Ulf, take a hike through the Asse. The somewhat longer journey was worth it, as there was a lot to discover here, the hiking trails were also very good and sometimes not broken.
We wish everyone a nice weekend! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
