Nice atmosphere by the pond. The pond is quite large and cannot be completely overlooked from all sides. Therefore, different impressions always arise depending on the perspective. At the moment …

Small but fine walk around at Buntenbock... I'm still looking for the train station 🚂 but obviously you can also walk to Norway here 🇳🇴 short fjord feeling... the dog had to take a closer look 👀

From the An der Trift parking lot in Buntenbock, we set off toward Braunseck. First, we take a short stretch through the village, then a wide, shadeless forest path steadily uphill to the mountain hut. It's busy there. We stamp our trail and continue along the next sunny forest path. We almost missed the turnoff, had hikers not dismounted from …

We've been to the area several times, this time I didn't recognize anything. The trees are missing. But if you ignore this loss, a hike over sunlit mountains is actually quite nice.

Small round at Buntenbock in the Harz Mountains. The weather held up well. There were beautiful views, interesting information on historical water management and two HWN stamps (137, 138).
The loss of the forest at the Braunseck is quite impressive, which is noticeable when looking at the pictures of the highlight. The spot is hardly recognizable.

First tour with Kraxe. Unfortunately there is hardly a tree left at the Braunseck. The hut has also seen its best days. The Bärenbrucher Teich is all the more beautiful.
