    Very popular photo opportunity in the old town of Osterode am Harz, children love to sit on the donkey.

    Hiking

    Special Postmark Office for the Harz Witches' Trail OHA-THALE
    The approximately 100km-long Harz Witches' Trail begins or ends in Osterode am Harz.


    Here at the Donkey Driver Monument is the special stamp box for the Harz Hiking Badge.

    I wish all hikers on the Harz Witches' Trail lots of fun and blister-free feet! Good luck!

    “This striking bronze sculpture stands in a pedestrian zone in front of the old town hall in Osterode. It is reminiscent of an important trade in the city in times past and depicts a pack donkey loaded with a sack of grain and its handler. These donkey drivers once supplied the residents of the Upper Harz mountain towns with bread grain, which was stored in the Harz grain store in Osterode. The donkey drivers worked as independent grain traders and organized themselves into their own guild.”

    The sculpture was created by sculptor Helmut Moos
