Actually, this weekend was meant to rest. But sometimes things don't go as planned. On Saturday evening I happened to meet some pilgrims in Lüneburg who were on the same route as I was 1 year ago. Your goal is to run on the Via Scandinavica to Eisenach over the weekends. That's exactly what I started a year ago and …

After a nice Saturday with and with friends, we should go home again today. You can do that relaxed by train, or take advantage of the weather 🌞 and walk a little 🤗🥾.

My girlfriend took me to Bad Bevensen, from where I made my way to Bienenbüttel🥾🌞🥾. My route is somewhat based on @Uwe schnuppert Wanderluft 🥰's tour and …

August 6, 2025,Via Scandinavica - Von Bad Bevensen nach Bienenbüttel

I liked the small fieldstone church in Wichmannsburg (the stamping point). Also worth seeing is Medensburg Monastery, although it can only be visited as part of a guided tour. This time, I was heading in the "right" direction on the pilgrimage route 🥾⛪, including a few unintentional detours and a voluntary, in my opinion worthwhile, loop to the Elbe Lateral …

I walked part of the Way of St. James "vía scandinvian" here. A nice section, but with quirks. The "last" section of this section to Medinger Kloster ran through a forest. The Way of St. James markings are showing their age and are not always easy to see. The path itself is a barely recognizable dirt track with many fallen …

A fantastic, very varied tour from the Rother Hiking Guide (Around Hamburg, 4th edition). With beautiful landscapes, old buildings, and pretty villages, including the spa gardens in Bad Bevensen.

If you're lucky, you'll meet some friendly canoeists and be served a refreshing beer. If you're lucky!

Start: Bienenbüttel train station
End: Bad Bevensen train station

A varied tour through the charming Ilmenau valley. Those who want to visit the monastery must be there by 2 p.m. You can also register in advance.

There are opportunities to swim in the Ilmenau River along the way. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my swimsuit.

We'll meet at the train station in Bienenbüttel. The three of us will walk mainly along the Way of St. James to Bad Bevensen. My previous experiences with the Way of St. James will be confirmed once again. So, from church to church, often along the road... from Bruchtorf onwards, the path leads through beautiful wooded areas along the Ilmenau …
