Defeated Stag sculpture group, Mägdesprung

Highlight • Monument

The sculptural group “Defeated Deer” in 1862 by Johann Heinrich Kureck was created using the then newly developed zinc casting process. Since then it has been standing on the Hüttenplatz in Mägdesprung.

Root Tunnel on the Selke River

Highlight • Natural Monument

A feast for the eyes, and luckily the trees have fallen victim to the drought and the bark beetle.
So it stays as beautiful as ever.
Rock gates are always something special.

Cliff hike on the Selketal Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

An amazing section of the Selketal-Stieg. Here you hike directly on the Selke along the cliffs. In addition to the narrowest part of the valley, you also come through a tunnel. This area is mandatory for Selke hikers! ;)
