March 13, 2024,🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️ GÖ - Dransfeld / Hoher Hagen - Pilgerweg / Gaußturm - Altarsteine 🪨🪨🪨 - Schedetal-Blick 👀😍

Today we started above the campsite and hiked 🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏼‍♀️ along the Loccum Volkenroda pilgrimage route towards the Gaußturm 🗼.

First we went to the bench to rest with a great view 👀 of Varlosen, then on to the memorial 🪨👤 of Excellent Gieseke, honorary citizen of the town of Dransfeld, to the charcoal burner's hut 🛖 and the altar stones🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨.
