October 19, 2025,Niedersachsen/Alfeld(Leine) - Zwergentunnel - Himmelbergturm - Tafelbergturm - Blick ins Leinetal

Contrary to all forecasts, the weather was perfect for hiking this morning.
Clausthal is usually a real foggy hole, but when the sun 🌞 shines here, it's definitely even more beautiful everywhere else...
We then decided to do a loop around Alfeld (Leine), simply because I wanted to do a longer tour and didn't want such a long commute.
As …

July 18, 2022,über den 7 Bergen

Today we were looking for Snow White with the 7 dwarfs. A constant up and down; the paths were well signposted - follow the red dwarf. But Snow White was probably not at home.

May 15, 2022,500! Auf Schneewittchens Spuren

Today the tour followed in Snow White's footsteps. Beginning in Alfeld, the path first led through an arcade. This was followed by the ascent to Himmelberg and Table Mountain.
The absolute highlight of this hike were the quantities of wild garlic and woodruff 🌱

June 11, 2023,Auf den Spuren des roten Hödeken - Sieben Berge Schleife

The idea for this group hike came to me after the tour around the Menteberg on December 4, 2022. On this hike I discovered the Hödeken trail markings.
During my research, I came across the Hödekenwege, which are marked with the figure in different colors. At 18.3 km, the red Hödeken is one of the longer and the only circular …

November 23, 2023,Sieben Berge: "Novembertrübsinn"

The Seven Mountains near Alfeld/Leine. I wanted to do all seven in one fell swoop. But strong gusts were forecast and they came. So I chose a somewhat more protected path, which I ultimately owe to @Sandra Heeren...

April 30th, 2023: Today we started in wonderful spring weather on a magical tour in the Leinebergland, where a few meters of altitude had to be overcome. Because the goal was on the one hand the Himmelberg Tower (unfortunately closed for an unknown reason), on the other hand the tower on Table Mountain. And in between, the discovery tower was …

October 31, 2024,Alfeld💚- Die Sieben Berge🍁🍂🍁🍎

Today we were finally back at the Seven Mountains in Alfeld after a long time😊.

I think that the seven mountains are always most beautiful in their autumnal guise🤩 and so we set off from the BBS car park through the dwarf tunnel to the Seven Mountains.

November 19, 2023,Auf Hödekens Pfaden • Sieben Berge Schleife 🧙🏻‍♀️🍂🍃🍁🍄🌾🌄

A beautiful, colorful autumnal hike with fantastic views of the Leinebergland. The weather was sunny and warm, apart from a few showers. As always, we had very nice conversations. We then took a detour to the Fagus factory in Alfeld: a shoe last factory (since 1911), Gropius Building and world heritage site. We didn't record them. Thanks to @Sandra Heeren …
