A stony path, a narrow footbridge and a few steps will take you to the eagle cliff. From here you have a great view of the Upper Harz Aqueduct and with a little luck you can watch the climbers.

In mixed weather, today's hike took us past the Adlerklippe to the Romkerhall Waterfall. 🤣😂
The return trip took us along the old Harz road to the Waldhaus in the Okertal valley.🍺🍺

After the long day at work yesterday, there was only a short warm-up lap today. At the moment we are on the hunt for the last stamps for the third hiking emperor, so I'm planning other routes as well.

Of the many suggested tours near Bad Harzburg, I intuitively chose this tour in the Oker Valley, from the Okertal Fountain to the Kingdom at the Romkerhall Waterfall. I couldn't have chosen better. It was exactly my thing! I passed some very special rock formations (see captions under the photos!) where I could watch climbers. The Engagement Island, the fairytale …

Still full of inspiration from our morning tour in Torfhaus, we set off from the Romkerhall waterfall on the Okertal cliff path towards our first destination, the engagement island.
From the island we continued along the wild Oker. However, the hiking trail seemed a bit too boring for us at times, so we changed …

On Saturday there was a group hike to which my hiking friend Michael took me and Uwe, a resin stamp hunter, was also part of the party.

We started the hike at the Waldhaus in the Okertal near Goslar.
From there it went over stony paths towards Romkerhall.
On a piece we had a beautiful view of the cloudy landscape …

A great path right on the Oker. A small section goes along a footpath on the street.
Anyone who likes walking over hill and dale will have fun here. With beautiful views of the Marienwand and the Adlerklippen.

So I hiked back and forth through the Okertal because the path couldn't be found in the gloomy valley. Tree Mikado. Nevertheless, beautiful and because of the traffic light also traffic-calmed.😎🥰
