After about three years, I was back at Hanskühnenburg Castle.
The Reitstieg, Ackerfaststieg, and the cliffs along the trail are always beautiful. And, of course, the Tante Ju Trail.

Overall, the tour wasn't that great.
Today I took a look at some old paths and trails again. Almost all of them have fallen victim to the forest and disappeared.
Marientichbaude and wildcat enclosure closed.
The pond is temporarily closed on the south side. The last time the barrier was there was years

Garmin's quirks and bugs are getting more and more frequent. Previously, it was often 25% too few meters of descent, now also 25% too few meters of elevation gain. A cadence of 240 is nothing special anymore. 🥳
Because a few highlights were so

Too many photos... too much text... 🤪🙈
You can ride the Volksbank Arena trail or the Devils Trail, or something like this. 😜
A loop with a few personal highlights, great spots of nature, and amazing viewpoints.
The Brocken, Goetheweg itself, is

A few highlights I've forgotten about and haven't visited in a long time. Particularly worth mentioning is Kattnäse, a truly beautiful spot, the view from the Rabenklippe, and the trail down to the Butterbergkamm Trail. The ups and downs from the latter are even more fun on an eBike and are also very easy to ride.

A mega tour. Long and strenuous on an enduro bike, but absolutely worth seeing.
Great spots, sights, nature, and trails.
Too many photos. 🙈🤪

Retracing old tours and long-forgotten places.
A lot has changed in recent years.
The often rustic atmosphere, the old, rustic forest trails, the forests and trees – all gone. Barely recognizable.
Often just grass and weeds.
But it was still fun. If you're not used to it any other way, you might not miss

...and this on a stupid flow trail... 🤪🙈
I've jumped a thousand times... 🥳, but when it's wet, it obviously doesn't work. 🤪

I was also back at the Steinberg Tower after a long time. Some of those signs have disappeared up there. 🙈
Surprisingly, there were decent tracks left at the Rammelsberg. 🤪

The beginning has been made. A lot of work. There's still a lot to be done...
This year I visited a few spots I haven't been to in a long time.
We have a great area here.

Finally, I spent another great, fun, and relaxing day with Lars.
Great weather, great trails, great cruxes, and met other great people. We chatted, talked shop, rode—the whole package.
In the end, it was a long ride with a decent amount of elevation gain.
