Kaiserweg stop

Highlight • Historical Site

From here there are beautiful views of the Harz Mountains, unfortunately also of the forest damage at the moment. The path is also ideal for cyclists.

Half-Buried Spruce Trees

Highlight • Forest

Half-sized spruce trees only appear in winter. This indicates how much snow there is.

A lovely little loop along the Kaiserweg! The rest area with a view of the Wurmberg is a particular highlight—perfect for a break. The walk to Kapellenfleck is worthwhile, and of course, the Harz Hiking Badge stamp (HWN 157) is a must.
