July 17, 2021,Harz 10 - Kurztripausklang am Torfhausmoor
Before the return trip, soak up some forest air, sun and mountain feeling: Was very good between the peat house and moor. :)

Yesterday I finally went back to the Harz Mountains. After arriving, I wanted to stretch my legs a bit and spontaneously decided to drive to Torfhaus and visit the Große Torfhausmoor.
The starting point was the visitor parking lot at the Harzturm (fee applies). From there, I first walked along the Goetheweg – the well-known hiking trail towards the Brocken. …

Where the young spruces stand
Nuki wants to go today.
Where the beautiful raised moor stands
and the shallow Abbe lives
a gentle wind accompanies us
when we are outside again
The mistress is doing well there too
What more could you want, it gives you courage
I can be so poetic when I try, I could also be called …

It is well …

Very nice hike, even in bad weather!

Showing Translation

Since my son liked the wooden plank paths so much, we went on the Torfhausmoor circuit today. The weather was finally kind to us and we had pleasant weather, apart from a few brief drops of rain. The view stretched all the way to the Brocken summit. There are always beautiful things to discover along the way, which are particularly …
