March 17, 2024,Grenzenlos: Auf dem Kleinen Fallstein (Hornburg—Rhoden) 🥾🌤️

We didn't need a pass for today's tour over the Kleiner Fallstein. And the two stamps on the Rhoden border tower were also optional. By the way, this is the starting point of the Harz Border Trail, which follows the former inner-German border for over 90 kilometers. History on foot in beautiful surroundings and today in the best hiking weather.

The Gasthaus zu Willekes Lust is highly recommended. It has a shady spot behind the house with a playground and tree carvings. There will be an apple festival there on October 5, 2025. Please check the website in advance for opening hours.
