To train for the upcoming hikes on the Heidschnuckenweg and the Harzer Hexenstieg, a short hike around the Grossensee. Findings of the day: 1. I have to train more 😅 and 2. I have to walk more slowly....

Hiking is still not really my thing. But considering the temperatures (-12.5°C, last picture), I opted for hiking boots instead of my bike.

Many others were there today too. Not surprising in the great weather.

The starting point is the free car park at the Grossensee outdoor pool (south bank).
Beautiful hiking trail on the wooded shore of the lake and the adjacent Mönchsteich. Again and again smaller bathing areas, which are mostly used by dogs. Larger bathing areas on the above-mentioned south bank (€3.00) and north bank (free/unguarded).
The last 2 km on a …
