The rain is pounding on the car roof. The noise is only interrupted by the interwall hissing of the wiper blades.



I stand in the hiking car park in the village of Questenberg in the southern Harz region and fight with myself. Ultimately, I defeat the bastard in me and start my first Harz adventure since… voir plus

Definitely a well-researched comment. You could have let a little rain splash into your photos, so that your Harz Water Festival comes across as even more authentic. It is astonishing that with so much luck from above you have not lost sight of the detail (scary wedding, bee industry) from wet eyes 💦🤢🙄.

Great description! I haven't come across an "episodic lake" either ... But I can understand your enthusiasm, the landscape is great and looks very unique. Looking at the pictures, I would not have guessed where in Germany it could be…. I like picture # 10 a lot, and of course the broom ... what can the… voir plus

A little rain can't harm a Lutz! Nice round in a region unknown to me, but which will probably be taken into account on future excursions, after this excellent application! So far, I only know gypsum karst from small areas in the Alps, e.g. from the Rätikon.

Great pictures 😊 But you weren't at the top of the quest and the castle?

It was not at all easy to document Jürgen, the steady, easy flow from above. Back then, it was easier for me to hike together. Since I was able to photograph you completely in the rainwater, but also lakes with the impacting raindrops 😀.

@ Burkhard: I think the witch simply slept through the day in the weather and left the broom in the park harbor 😂.

I didn't expect such a unique landscape either. But I hadn't prepared too much either and I just ended up in this corner by chance, because it was most likely on my return trip to Berlin.

That's right, MonacoTrail, I don't really mind rain. After the many long, wet hikes this year, however, I have to admit that every now and then I look furtively between my fingers to see if webbing is forming 😉.

I also believe that this area could be worthwhile for further excursions and will follow hiking tours here.

Hello Sandra, thank you very much for your praise for my photos, which had to do without sun 😀.



The castle ruins were actually part of this tour, of course, but due to the weather conditions I saved the ascent and the four additional kilometers for the next time 😉.

Even without the sun there are great memories 😁 it is definitely worth it, you have a great view of the quest

Once again you have proven your keen eye for details - and that under difficult 💦 circumstances. 20 kilometers in drizzle - that's not exactly encouraging. I like the wide view and the haze shading in the background in 'Landscape between Questenberg and Hainrode (2)' very much 🔝.

So you picked out the same photo as Burkhard, Kiesel 😀. I liked the many triangles in this motif, which differ in either color and / or luminance.
