Fog, rain and finally sunshine. Wonderful. Along the way I also walked partly on the Heidschnuckenweg, the E1 and the North-South Trail. It was a lovely autumnal route. There were lots of mountain bikers on the way but I only met two hikers. They also walked the Heideschleife, just in the opposite direction.

Very nice circular hike, comp. marked with the white ribbon on a black background. Varied, partly with steep inclines/descends. You should bring good shoes and a good level of fitness. Start/end is the hiking car park at Karlstein. From here, after a short walk, you are directly on the hiking trail. Recommendation go clockwise.

After my visit to Büsenbachtal, the motivation to complete the Heideschleifen came back. But before going to the Südheide, the obligatory program was on the agenda. A must, because I've hiked all of today's paths several times, just not on the exact route of the Heideschleife Schwarze Berge. What I can hold on to, and I noticed that after just …

The start / end of this very beautiful circular route is the parking lot at the Kiekeberg Museum. Good footwear is advisable. There are also quite a few vertical meters to hike on the route, with quite a few inclines. The beautiful nature also rewards you again immediately 🙂.

Because it was so beautiful yesterday and we need a bit of altitude training for the holiday, we're doing another heather loop. - Although there wasn't a single heather blossom. But there were lots of hills and root paths. A beautiful, challenging tour where you should pay attention to the path. There weren't many hikers here either, just a few …

A great and challenging tour through the beautiful forest landscape of Rosengarten. The time for the tour was incorrectly displayed by Komoot. It actually takes about 3:30 hours.

I am a fan of the Heideschleifen and I was still missing the Schwarze Berge Heideschleifentour.

So it's great that the Kiekeberg Museum is right next door. It's been a while since my last visit and a lot has happened. Königsberger Straße is new for me. There you can admire an old gas station, an original Quelle prefabricated house, a …
