Perplexed Traveler Unfamiliar - "Completely Unexperienced"
Carsten Kiehne, a well-known hiker and storyteller from the Harz region, had an encounter that he will never forget during a hike on Tuesday, March 4. While leading a group along the Paracelsus-Harzklinik in Bad Suderode, an elderly man named Günther followed the group after a short stop.
This was not the first time people in wheelchairs or walkers had joined Carsten's hiking group for a short while. However, Günther's persistence led to him being invited to join the group for an extended period. Despite Günther's wheelchair needing support to climb the steep hill, Carsten agreed to help.
Carsten Kiehne, who has been collecting and sharing legends, fairy tales, and anecdotes from the Harz region for over a decade, found this hiking tour to be one of the highlights of his 14-year career. The hiking group, including Günther, continued the tour despite his lack of wheelchair skills. They pushed Günther's wheelchair up the steep incline with united strength.
Günther slid or tilted in his wheelchair during the hike, but Carsten was able to intervene. Despite his initial worries about Günther's safety, Günther did not seem confident either. However, Günther was not deterred by the steep hill and agreed to be pushed up it.
In the end, the hiking group successfully pushed Günther's wheelchair to the top of the hill. Günther was extremely happy at the end of the hike, according to Carsten's Facebook post. This incident marked a special encounter for Carsten Kiehne, adding another real-life tale to his collection of stories from the Harz.
Carsten Kiehne and his partner Manuela Petri have published more than thirty books together, bringing the stories of the Harz to life for many readers. If you want to join Carsten on one of his guided tours and hikes in the Harz, you can find more information on his website.

This extension of his lifestyle allowed him to incorporate sports into his work, with Günther's determination on their hike being an inspiring anecdote for his future stories. Despite facing challenges with Günther's wheelchair on the steep hill, the group's unity and sportsmanship aided in their successful ascent.
