The signpost shows the distance to different places - including Haiti, Paris, Mallorca, but also the Devil's Bridge is signposted. There is also a bank here where you can take a break.

Very nice inn with a rustic atmosphere. The food tastes good. Since May 1st, 2016 there has also been a stamping point for the Deister hiking badge here. The hiking pass is available free of charge in the Mooshütte.

A great walk in beautiful weather. Two excellent rest stops between forest bathing in the young greenery round off Easter Monday.

This weekend we're taking a trip to Hanover because the master and mistress of the house are visiting friends.
Normally, I let the two gentlemen go on their vacation unsupervised, but since it is the man of the house's birthday weekend, I travel to the celebration as a good daughter.
A tour in the Harz Mountains was originally promised for …

The start and finish point was the Mooshütte, where the calories you've burned off so hard can be easily and deliciously replenished.😋👋

Beautiful route with lots of birdsong, beautiful views, towers, nice stones, fresh Alster near the Devil's Bridge, nice elevation and an unexpectedly hearty Mooshütte with delicious food and top service.

Very relaxed and easy to hike route. 👍

Small but nice, with two places to stop for refreshments.

With the sun today, there's plenty of shade.

A bit of a long climb at the beginning. The rest is a breeze.

The weekend is here, the weather is playing along: so let's go for a little round in the Deister 🥾.
Start at the Deister car park near Lauenau, then it went steadily uphill to the Teufelsbrücke forest restaurant including a stop for a stew and freshly tapped Rupp-Bräu 🍻
Well strengthened, the steep steps up could also be mastered after …
