On the mountain meadow path created in 2011 you hike through a wonderful variety of flora and fauna. The path leads you to the Harzer Bachtäler nature reserve and along the idyllic meandering Rappbode. Numerous information boards tell you exciting backgrounds about the uniqueness of the Harz mountain meadows, their history, but also their endangerment.

The Benneckenstein mountain meadow educational trail is a five-kilometer themed circular hiking trail. Flora and fauna present themselves here with a great diversity of species. The multitude of impressive views, including the Carlshaus Tower, the Brocken and the city of Benneckenstein, make the hike along the mountain meadow educational trail an experience in every season.

There are numerous informative display boards along the way. These provide the hiker with extensive background knowledge about the history and the present of the Harz mountain meadows, their peculiarities, their conservation, their protection, but also their endangerment. The Benneckenstein mountain meadow educational trail was created in 2011. Part of the route lies within the “Harzer Bachtäler” nature reserve. There is a shelter on the Grauberg, which you can use as a resting place and as a shelter in bad weather. The educational trail is dominated by comparatively easy trails with typical, mostly gentle ascents and descents. The circular hike on the mountain meadow nature trail can be started at various points, e.g. at the Waldschlößchen or on the south-eastern outskirts of the town near the clarification ponds at Rappbode In winter you can also explore the route on a ski tour.

As part of a project by the Harz Regional Association for the Protection of Nature, a mountain meadow nature trail was created near Benneckenstein in 2011, inviting visitors to discover and enjoy the mountain meadow world in the Harz Mountains. The 5-km circular trail leads visitors around the Pfeiferberg mountain and through the "Harzer Bachtäler" nature reserve. Along the trail, five information panels provide information about the mountain meadow habitat and the species found there.
