Bad Harzburg. Beautiful. Germany.Travel of the Cat on a leash.
Bad Harzburg is a town in central Germany, in the Goslar district of Lower Saxony. It lies on the northern edge of the Harz mountains and is a recognised saltwater spa and climatic health resort.
According to legend, about 780 AD the Emperor Charlemagne, after the conquest of the area in the course of the Saxon Wars, had a chapel built on the Burgberg a hill overlooking the town. It may have stood on the site of a sacred grove dedicated to a Saxon god named Krodo, whose statue Charlemagne had overthrown.
King Conrad I of Germany is believed to have established a college of canons here in 916, in order to strengthen his rule in the Duchy of Saxony under Henry the Fowler. King Henry III had it transferred to his Kaiserpfalz in Goslar in 1039. Still on bad terms with the Saxons, his son and successor Henry IV between 1065 and 1068 had a sizable castle, the Harzburg, built on the Burgberg to control the region, where he was besieged in 1073 by the forces of Duke Otto of Nordheim during the Great Saxon Revolt. Henry managed to escape from the castle, which after the Peace of Gerstungen was badly damaged by its attackers. Emperor Frederick Barbarossa had it rebuilt after he had defeated his rival, the Saxon duke Henry the Lion in 1180. Henry's son Otto IV, crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1209, died at the castle on 19 May 1218.
Bad Harzburg about 1900
Archaeological findings of a first, later abandoned, settlement beneath the castle called Schulenrode (Old Saxon for hidden (cf. skulk) clearing) date back to the 10th century. Another locality nearby named Hartesborch was first mentioned in a 1314 deed by the Benedictine abbey of Ilsenburg. The present-day town itself, then called Neustadt (new town), was first documented in 1338.
From 1488 on, the Harzburg with its surrounding estates was part of the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel, though spatially separated from the residence of the prince at Wolfenbuttel by the neighbouring Prince-Bishoprics of Hildesheim and Halberstadt. About 1569, Duke Julius of Brunswick promoted the development of a saline water well to extract salt. The well was called Juliushall and since 1852 the brine has been used for saline baths as well as other medical purposes.
In 1892 the townspeople changed the town's name from Neustadt to Harzburg. It was given the title Bad (German for bath, i. e. spa), received town privileges in 1894 and has since become an important spa town and tourist attraction.

I understand how imperfect our world is. Unfortunately, not everyone has the ability to hear. That’s why every video, in which I told you about something, has subtitles for deaf and hearing-impaired people. These subtitles are not generated automatically, but are written intentionally so that such people can understand the sense and not just guess what Silvester, cat on a leash, actually speaks about.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im Juni 2018 starteten Linde und Karsten wieder ihre CrossBike-Tour von Bayreuth aus.
Es ging zunächst gut 1,5 Tage zur Fulda-Quelle, um dann dem gesamten FULDA-RADWEG von der Wasserkuppe in der Rhön bis Hannoversch Münden zu folgen.
Die Fulda und die Werra vereinen sich dort zur Weser. Dem WESER-RADWEG folgten wir dann bis zur Mündung nach Bremerhaven.
Über Cuxhaven ging es schließlich nach Wischhafen, um dort die Elbe nach Glückstadt zu überqueren.
In Schleswig-Holstein angekommen, ging es weiter nach Büsum.
Dann verließen wir die Nordseeküste und fuhren östlich über Heide und Rendsburg nach Kiel, wo wir an der Ostsee angekommen unsere Tour nach 11 Tagen beendeten.
Viel Spaß beim Anschauen!
Euer KARSTEN
