Lumpenstieg

Mountain up and down not for the faint of heart 😅.
The name probably comes from the fact that the paper mill on the Selke was supplied by rags from the region who were brought down the way into the valley🤪

Here it goes quite high through a very intact deciduous forest, one can only recommend ☺

crisp hm on a short distance. The ascent is particularly suitable for viewing Selkes at the Ackeburg

The Lumpenstieg is a quick way to get from the Selketal up to Selkesicht / Ackeburg.

Great but also difficult ascent to Ackerburg and Selkesicht, you should have sturdy shoes. The view from Selke makes up for the effort ... Mü

Nice descent into the Selketal. Next to the path you will find some rather large anthills. You rarely see it. Once at the bottom I recommend a visit to the "Zum Falken" restaurant.

Nice but also exhausting, make sure you have sturdy shoes!

great hiking trail, who hikes up here will certainly not freeze ^^

The Lumpenstieg is steep, but so you quickly gain the required altitude to get from Selketal to Ackeburg with HWN 204 "Selkesicht".

The climb is relatively short, but quite sweaty.

The path has it all.

Beautiful way that demands a lot.

Heart-refreshing ascent to Selkesicht 😅😅

Uphill a very sweaty affair

Uphill pretty exhausting here

wonderful path through the forest

beautiful and steep trail over a ravine in / from Selktal. Good footwear and sure-footedness are required.

fine single trail through the forest

I don't know why the beautiful forest hiking trail bears the name :)

The Lumpenstieg is the fastest and steepest way to get from the Gathaus to the Falken up to the Meisdorf Trift and on to the Harzer hiking pin stamping point, Selkesicht an der Ackeburg (HWN 204).

Very exhausting descent to / from the Selkesicht. Sturdy shoes are highly recommended!

It's a steep uphill ...

Beautiful hiking trail between Ackeburg and Selke. Note the rather steep ascent :)
