Oderteichでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

We visited on a sunny and snowy winter day in January. Even (or perhaps especially) with everything covered in a thick blanket of snow, it was an absolutely beautiful scene. The Oderteich pond was easily accessible via the large parking lot located across the road. The paths around the Oderteich were quite narrow on this winter day, which made things a bit tight at times with two dogs, especially when encountering oncoming traffic. But somehow, we always managed to make it work. :) Oh, and the name "Oderteich" shouldn't be taken too literally; the path around it is almost 5 km long. :)

A path like in a fairy tale

Forest at the Oderteich: This area has been left in a very pristine state, with plenty of deadwood and trees of varying ages. It is one of the oldest forest stands in the Harz National Park. This forest was designated a protected forest soon after the Oderteich was created, preventing logging. Its purpose is to prevent soil erosion and thus ensure a sufficient water level in the Oderteich.

It's enchanting to see the Oderteich frozen over. And the children are having fun testing how thick the ice is with branches/logs 😎🤗

Root and wooden plank paths and vegetation make this one of the most beautiful in the Harz Mountains. A large parking area for hikers is right by the lake. A fantastic ascent to the Achtermann peak is not far away.
