June 9, 2023,Harz / Grenzwege: Grenzlandschaft Sorge

And on the road again 🙈 this time in the Harz Mountains 😊... and since it was already late, there was a small round in the border area Sorge.
Child 3 found the way there stupid, she found the border fences scary, the convoy way boring and the sun too warm....
Normally you either walk back the same way or …

January 19, 2025,Der Grenzweg – heute Freiluftmuseum der Erinnerung – Offenes Grenzmuseum in Sorge

Today we had a nice little winter hike, albeit on historical ground.
Unfortunately Komoot went on strike today. Some of the pictures from the app didn't turn out. For whatever reason, there were none or they were only parts of a picture or even something like test strips.

September 11, 2024,HWN 046 - Grenzmuseum, Ring der Erinnerung

Yesterday I was still doing gymnastics in shorts and a shirt, today I'm wearing thick pants, a fleece sweater and a jacket.😳
Fresh 7 degrees, overcast skies and a good wind. Comfortable is something else entirely. But it was interesting nonetheless.

This easy but very beautiful hike leads through the open-air border museum. This is where the story of the separation of Germany comes to life. I found it very exciting to experience the dimensions and, thanks to the remains of border fences, B-tower and border security systems, to experience the border history up close. After so much vivid history lessons, …
