オスターオーデ・アム・ハルツのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

Most of the elevation gain is already behind you if you come from the direction of Lauterberg. There's a short, steep final climb, and then you reach the Knollen.

A wonderfully old-fashioned chairlift - walking is nicer, but if you like ski nostalgia, this is the place for you.

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. :)

Fountain nozzles with lion heads were apparently once popular here as well. Some people still put them in their gardens.

Beautiful historic building. I wonder if a tour is possible... 🤷

The Knollenkreuz (480 m above sea level) is a crossroads between Bad Lauterberg and the Großer Knollen.

Impressive

Great place as a reminder of the history of the border between FRG and GDR.
