The Schurre is a scree slope in the Bode Gorge in the Lower Harz Mountains near Thale in Saxony-Anhalt. The scree slope is slowly sliding; especially during heavy rain, the scree slopes can sometimes be heard "scrambling" down the valley.

Hiking

The Schurre trail winds its way through the steep scree slope in 18 hairpin bends. The path was painstakingly rerouted and partially paved. After more than 10 years of closure and extensive renovation, the alpine-style hiking trail is once again accessible.

Hiking

You really have to be looking for a challenge to take on this stretch of trail.
It's quite dangerous in places.
Therefore, surefootedness, a head for heights, and sturdy footwear are the absolute minimum requirements.
By the way: the higher you go, the easier the trail becomes.
