I still had a little time left after the first tour today, so I drove to Bad Sachsa to stamp at the gypsum kiln (♟️192) and at the Sachsensteinhütte (♟️166). The Sachsensteinwand, which can be seen directly from the main road, is very impressive, as is the climb to the Sachsensteinhütte with the view over Neuhof.

During the second part of the hike around Walkenried, 2 stamps were collected, the historic gypsum kiln - HWN 192 and Sachsensteinhütte - HWN 166.... here the last battery percentage was stamped 🤣. The round was then completed unrecognized. 😬
