Wippertalsperre (HWN 219)

Highlight • Lake

Nice stamp area, which is difficult to combine with other stamps.
But a circumnavigation is always worth a tour.

Wippertal Dam

Highlight • Structure

If you have managed the quite strenuous driveway, this barrier is a real highlight so far away.

View from the bridge onto the Wippertal dam

Highlight • Monument

Located in the middle of the Wippertal and framed by woods and slate rocks. A beautiful path leads around and in summer, one or the other beautiful spot on the shore invites you to linger.

Once around the Wippatalsperre. The upper path is fun and nice and narrow. South of the dam there are bad forest paths with huge water holes on the paths. Also a lot of dead wood. The viewpoint is very nice though.

The loneliest hiking pin in the Harz! 😆 The path to the dam was really bad... The dam is quite isolated. I heard it's better from the other side. But I didn't listen. Quiet and idyllic!
The last two pictures show the path to the dam. It was desolate and impassable! Muddy, Monastir, climbing over trees...

The approach via unpaved, very narrow and dusty forest paths is really exhausting. The hike is very nice. Forest, open parts, down by the water, up on a cliff, everything is on offer. We would always recommend this hike!

A beautiful autumn tour was on the agenda today, with a walk around the Wipper Dam. On the circular route - mostly not far from the shore - we stomped through the forest of leaves and every few minutes we raised our noses to the sky to watch the trumpeting flocks of cranes on their autumn migration. Now and then …

It's stamp time again 🤗. Went for a loop around the Wipper Dam with @Fanny 🙋‍♀️🐶🍀. The journey to the hiking car park is quite adventurous, here it goes 5 km over gravelly forest paths through the forest. The loop then starts directly at the dam, where it goes up a few meters. After a short time, a wide view …

With summery temperatures, today it was about the Wippra dam to collect stamp 219.
A very nice tour, which is also used by nude hikers. At the end of my lap there would even have been a schnapps, but I still had to drive...

The last tour with the hiking badge was to the Wippertalsperre. Coming from Wippra, a well-maintained road leads to the car park by the dam. In front of it, you can admire an old quarry. The reservoir lies quite quietly between high green mountains, almost as if it were meant to remain a secret place. The circular route runs close …
