The Köthener Hütte is by far the most beautiful mountain hut in the Harz Mountains. Lovingly designed as a small church and with a fine view. The Selketal is also worth a hike, as it is the most natural valley in the whole of the Harz Mountains and is visited less often than, for example, the Bodetal. However, you also have to be able to suffer a bit, for example when you hike through Mägdesprung. The decay of the small village is sad to see.

The Köthener Hut towers above the Selketal, near the Alexisbad. According to my taste, it is one of the most beautiful huts in the Harzer Wanderadel (HWN) collection. Lovingly designed with a small bell tower, it resembles a tiny chapel.
