Braunlage

After our morning hike we headed to Braunlage to spy on their winter market and…it was smaller than Bad Harzburg! And the town was so so busy with people everywhere and I was not ready for all that so we didn’t stay long.

Instead we headed out to another trail in town and found a fun little chair, another stamp!, and another small lake! We had a sits by the lake until the wind started to pick up and it started getting darker and we figured we should head back to our place. We were in that town maybe 2 hours, but by the time we were headed home all the roads, even the main road, were covered in snow! It was slow going, but not an issue (I had thought we should be back at our place before sunset as I didn’t want the roads to freeze on us).

When we got back to our places it was snowing like crazy and there was snow here!! I took the first photo from the window when we got in, then 10 min later there was so much more snow (the second photo of the same spot)! We sat drinking tea and enjoying the snow!! It has now stopped snowing, but everything is still covered! Such a fun, snow filled day!Read more
