Aufstieg zur Achtermannshöhe

The stony path is a highlight and a welcome change from the stuttering slopes here.

Reminds a bit of the Eckerloch, but shorter and not so exhausting!

If you climb the easy path and descend the difficult path, you will make a good choice. ;-)

Shortest ascent of Königskrug. Sure-footedness required, more difficult in snow and wet conditions. Due to the bark beetle damage, the forest can be very dangerous, especially in strong winds.

Beautiful ascent, sure-footedness required. For the descent, I would not necessarily long here, as well as in the rain and snow. Peaked in a great vantage point. However, the path is lined with trees, which are rotten because of strong Borkenkäferbefalls. Wind tends to be too dangerous.

The trail leads from Königskrug to Oderbrück. The eight-man is crossed. It's a rugged root path. In between, just do not know it's the path of a creek bed or the contour line. It's fun to find out.

great ascent (surefootedness required) and a great all-round view of the Achtermannshöhe

Fun for kids

December and January have hardly any visibility and it is very windy.It is a must go to see the beautiful scenery.

Depending on the direction of the climb or descent, but always sure-footed, especially in wet conditions, is required.

Fairytale forest path, even in winter beautiful

We also chose the “difficult” route as a descent, but didn't find it difficult. It's just a little uneven due to the roots. Surefootedness is required, but we didn't have to use our horse mackerel.

A rewarding and picturesque ascent to the most beautiful summit in the Harz Mountains.

This section is approximately the section indicated in the signage as a 'difficult / arduous path'. Visually, he is very sexy. However, you walk several hundred meters over uneven rocky ground. He was a bit sweaty, but we are happy to have chosen this path. Alternatively, there is a 'comfortable way' that we can not talk about.

To recommend sturdy shoes - then it's fun too

Very nice mountain hiking trail from the south side.
