Rappbode Dam and Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Walking the bridge is really great. Due to the corona, this is currently only possible in one direction, on the dam wall next door you can then go back and see the imposing bridge from the side.

Beautiful up and down round with lots of stamps. We started at the charcoal kiln and went straight to the lookout point and got the second stamp. Over hill and dale but wonderful to walk to Todtenrode to stop off at the great forester's house and have apple strudel. A must in my opinion!! Stamp three and on to Kleef …

Today's round was completely planned by Nico, because I'm in the stress of moving and I didn't have the time. But it should be a day in nature to wind down and switch off.

Start was the Sternberghaus. We left relaxed and I knew what to expect on this lap and at these temperatures 🥵🥵🥵.
Our first goal is …

Yesterday evening at our wonderful parking space in Altenbrak - the wine is open, the Bode rushes, life is beautiful - luckily my husband noticed that we are almost right on the next planned tour 😍 I'm somehow always the geographical complete failure 😅
So this morning we could stumble straight out of the Womo and start the tour.

The special stamp on the Titan RT is not at the south entrance.

6 stamps today, for that reason alone a worthwhile tour. But that's not the only reason. Great paths on the first half, then great views on the second half. Regarding the suspension bridge, I have to say that a head for heights is unfortunately not enough, you also have to be seaworthy. Unfortunately I'm not, I felt sick immediately. Oh …

A great trail with many highlights—from historic sites like the charcoal kiln to breathtaking views of the dam and the Titan RT. I particularly enjoyed the Rotestein with its view—an ideal place for a rest.
