July 12, 2025,"Windzeichnung" Kunst am Hallenhaus auf der Halde Norddeutschland 12.07.2025

Full of anticipation, I ran up the 395 steps to the slag heap, only to find myself standing in front of a barrier fence at the last step. 😒
Preparations for the Dong Open Air Festival are currently underway.
But there was still access to the hall building via the winding path.

Yesterday at the Christmas market I met an old friend while drinking mulled wine. He told me that at the age of 76 he still goes jogging regularly and runs up and down the Stairway to Heaven a few times. He wouldn't need a doctor.

In the late afternoon, I had to climb the Norddeutschland slag heap again. Lying on the couch all day doesn't do any good. 😊
So I made my way up and back down again in quick steps. At the top, though, I was hoping to see some gliders, as the wind was already strong.
Did I see any gliders there?... …

To get my tired legs moving today, I thought the Stairway to Heaven at the Halde would be just the thing. 🤔 So I went straight up the 359 steps from the car park without warming up. My legs felt extremely leaden and after each section of stairs it became more and more difficult to breathe. But I managed it, …
