Karlstein-Trail

From the parking Rosengartenstraße on a stony, washed out trail to reach. Beware ... hikers use the same route!

A legend with several variants connects the stone with the Frankish king Charlemagne.

A beautiful spot in the Harburg mountains. This area offers hikers, walkers and cyclists plenty of trails to relax and romp. Some of Hamburg's highest elevations can be found here.

Nice trail, easy to drive.

One of the many stones on ridges in the forest, where you can make a nice break after a partly crisp climb.

Long trail where you end up (from Karlstein) has several options zuende to drive.

The actually fun part of the trail is the departure from the Karlstein!
The approach from the Old Post Office to the Karlstein Trail (in the east / west direction) is a bit overgrown ..., so that the course on the first third is a bit different than that of the marked path (as of early April 18) could one of the other possibilities be more suitable ...

Nice descent on a single trail

Beautiful place for a short break

Here is a tree across the trail.
One drive is but possible.

A fixed landmark in the HaBes

The Karlstein Trail is a real highlight. From the direction of the Karlstein car park, the ascent is quite steep, so that you will be rewarded with a demanding descent on the way back. The gradient here is sometimes over 30 percent. But there is also an alternative route for less experienced mountain bikers, so that you can slowly approach your way. In any case, the trail is recommended and is extremely fun.

Coming from the north, of course, not from the parking lot! Relaxed trail with a few roots and a stone that invites you to kick, nothing wild. At the end a little steeper after you have climbed the stone.

Stone with break bench in the sun

Very nice trail especially when it's dry
