February 29, 2024,frühlingshafte Wanderung // von der Köhlerei über den Rotestein zur Schöneburg / HWN 54, 60 & 63

November 5, 2022,Wanderung nach Rotestein (HWN063 und 54)

Today's tour went to HWN 063 and 054. The starting point was the hiking car park, in the curve of the B81 in front of the Harzköhlerei Stemberghaus. Since the parking lot is not signposted, we first drove past it and turned around at the charcoal burner. The tour then began on the B81, on a very wet hiking trail, …

... but an extremely beautiful autumn tour and I could plough through the rustling carpet of leaves to my heart's content. 😂 If autumn stayed so colorful... But a small storm and the splendor is over. So I'm collecting color for my heart while I can. Schöneburg and Rotestein were still missing from my stamp collection. The pictures of the …
