Our campsite came with complementary passes to use the 830 bus which comes by here. What a great thing! We were both interested in seeing the waterworks in the area, and the best place to see some is up at Hahnenklee (which is sort of Goslar’s ‘Whistler’ before Whistler got crazy busy). Considering that Hahnenklee is a 7km (one way) walk, we didn’t thing we would go but then we figured out that the 830 goes there!

So, off we went first thing in the morning to Hahnenklee. We had breakfast and coffee at Moock Cafe then we went for a walk on Libesbankweg, which is one of the local hiking trails that takes you up past the Hahnenklee gondola, then around to see several of the lakes and dams of the area.

After Hahnenklee, we came back to the campground briefly and then set out for Goslar. We had a poke around the beautiful city and had dinner and beer before returning to the campground for the night.
I started feeling like I might be coming down with something this morning. I often get a kind of scratchy throat when I’m getting dehydrated, so I thought that’s what it was but then the scratchy throat started to feel more like I’m getting sick. I did a Covid test - if I have it I’d like to know asap so I can quarantine. The test was negative. The scratchy throat progressed to my ‘I feel like my lungs are stuffed with pink fiberglass insulation ‘ feeling that I get when I’m sick. Sigh. If I’m sick I’m going to track down the two asshats who were on the train(s) to Marburg and left their masks off until AFTER they coughed and/or sneezed and put the boots to them.
