        The ridge area of the Butterberg and its surrounding area was declared a nature reserve in 1952 due to its special plant population.
        The limestone vegetation is a rare sight in the region and therefore something worth protecting.
        The nature reserve is only about 50 m wide, but extends over a length of over 2.3 km.
        The adventure trail runs mainly along the ridge of the Butterberg.
        It is also part of the 23 km long ring road around Bad Harzburg.
