On this beautiful tour, you could enjoy many beautiful views. This tour will be incredibly fun in spring or summer, because there's so much to see and the deciduous forests will be all green.

Those who enjoy collecting Harz hiking badge stamps can collect a total of six on this beautiful tour.

South Harz Nature Park
a totally varied hiking tour!

relive.cc/view/vRO79pmJByq

Quiet, slightly foggy winter weather greets me in Neustadt.

I walk on idyllic hiking trails that meander along the mountains.

Delicate snowflakes swirl around me.

The bare branches are waiting for spring - and so am I!

The Harzquerbahn sends its typical whistling sound into the silence.

May 11, 2024,Runde von Netzkater/Dreitälerblick/Ilfeld mit 5 Stempeln🌤️👏🏼👍🏼

Great tour!👍🏼
Many thanks to @Wanderfieber 👊 🥾🏔 for the template!
I really reached my limits when it came to the altitude!😂Phew!
Broken but proud!💪🏼
In some places, hiking poles are very helpful, as the descent is sometimes a bit steep. Especially when you need new shoes because the old ones no longer have any grip. Very careless!🙈

Always wonderful views! You can stop there for a bite to eat. There is also a skeleton in the dungeon 😉. A few kilometers after the castle we got off …
