Started this morning at 8 a.m. after I had already collected a few stamps on arrival.

Stop at the Hotel zum Falken and now at my parking lot at the garden house.

Thanks to W-LAN, I was able to save and upload everything here right away. Tomorrow I will add comments to a few highlights. Now it's time to… meer lezen

You did quite a bit of work today 💪

The area in and around the

Selketal is also lovely 👍

Very strong, decent round 👍🏼👏🏼

Strong tour in my territory!

That's a house number! 👍

Respect!

And a good suggestion. Thanks.

Thank you, yes it was perfect for me, with photography and breathing pauses and a stop. The lonely hiker Jörg or the Saxon uncle walk twice as far in my total time.

Your round, Andreas, was great !! 👌

Super nice round and nice pictures. Unfortunately, the tree population in the Harz is catastrophic, especially the high Harz mountains. A sight that makes you very sad. 🌲🌲🌲🥾🎒👍
