Perplexed Traveler: "Astonishingly Unfamiliar Experience"
In the picturesque Harz region, every hike led by Carsten Kiehne, a seasoned hiking guide with 14 years of experience, is a unique adventure. However, on Tuesday, March 4, Carsten had an encounter that stood out from the rest.
During the hike along the Paracelsus-Harzklinik in Bad Suderode, an elderly man named Günther joined the group. Günther was not your typical hiker; he was in an electric wheelchair. Despite initial concerns, Carsten agreed to let Günther participate, and it proved to be a memorable experience for all involved.
Günther had driven up the steep hill leading to the clinic before, even backwards, but this time, the group had to provide assistance to complete the uphill section. With combined efforts, they successfully pushed Günther's wheelchair up the incline.
Throughout the hike, Günther was in danger of tipping over or slipping, but Carsten was able to intervene in time. Despite the challenges, Günther confirmed his participation, stating he was aware of the duration and difficulty.
Carsten Kiehne, a storyteller who has been collecting legends, fairy tales, and anecdotes from the Harz region for over a decade, felt exhausted but happy after the hike. The joy, he attributed, to sharing beautiful moments with his guests.
This was not the first time Carsten had encountered someone in a wheelchair or walker during his hikes. In fact, he has had many experiences with his guests, making each hike a special and inclusive event.
Carsten Kiehne and his partner Manuela Petri have published over thirty books together, documenting their adventures and the tales of the Harz region. This unusual encounter with Günther is surely a story that will find its way into one of their future books.
As of now, there are no detailed reports of this particular encounter in the Harz region. However, it serves as a reminder that with the right spirit and support, everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature, even on a hiking trail.
