Farmer's ditch (episodic lake) (HWN 213)

Highlight • Lake

Nice rest area and stamping point for the Harz hiking pin. Impressive when you have seen both variants (filled and empty lake)! Accessible via part of the Karst hiking trail.

The hike was only planned to the stamp office, but we walked through and around the lake, a nice, entertaining tour with many interesting facets.

After we hiked to stamp points 210 and 212, we drove to stamp point 213 nearby. That means in a parking lot nearby. The path and the stamp office are not worth mentioning.

On the way to the birthday party we made a detour to the Bauerngraben. It's worth it at the moment as it's full of water.

Today was our fourth and final hike. A quiet, low-elevation hike to round off the day. The trail led through the forest, and there was no one else in sight. At the stamping station, we wondered who had pulled the plug; the lake was almost empty. The shore was frozen in the shade, and the sun was shining over us. …

"Eight small Nuki bags wanted water, one is still waiting at the beautiful farmer's ditch" 😀
The farmer's ditch was my hope, my mistress said that it's always a beautiful lake, which she forgot to say that it needs rain for it 🙄 Nevertheless, these periodic lakes are a fascinating thing. If there isn't enough water, they're just a giant …
