Wooden boardwalk at the Oderteich

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This beautiful break bench with a view of the Oderteich is totally rustic. A widening of the path especially for the bank 😁.

Oderteich | Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Oderteich pond is worth a visit at any time of year. From here, you can also hike to the Wolfswarte, to the Achtermannshöhe, or along the Rehberger Graben.

Wooden boardwalk at the Oderteich

Highlight • Trail

The circular path is beautiful. You walk over the sand, the wooden walkway and then past the bathing area and there are plenty of opportunities to take a break. It's like a little vacation when you're there.

Oderteich sun cap (HWN 217)

Meeting point and stamping point, even without a rest area, there are enough opportunities to relax.

July 13, 2023,Weg entlang des Abbegrabens – Oderteich Runde von Sankt Andreasberg

With my new job at the deutsche Post I'm a little less energetic after work to be blazing around the harz. However, a nice hike today with Tom and the dogs! Great views, nice trails and a few mtb trails spotted along the way.

Fantastic winter hike through the Harz National Park. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves 😉

April 28, 2025,Torfhaus - Oderteich: Harzer Wasserkunst und Hochmoore

The narrow-gauge railway hoots in the distance, we walk across vast moorlands that release brown water into the streams, and the air smells of summer spruce.

Unmistakably my home.

But also miles of bare mountains. The bark beetle and the drought have done their work.

June 15, 2022,Vom Wanderparkplatz Oderbrück um den Oderteich, über Märchen- u. Goetheweg ins Hochmoor 😍

A wonderful tour that starts with one of my Harz highlights: the circumnavigation of the Oderteich 🏞😍 At the sun cap we continue on the fairy tale path (really nice, but sure-footedness is required here, we carried our dog in parts). Via the Abbegraben and the Goetheweg you reach the high moor, where two wonderful benches await you. From here …

January 16, 2022,Harz - Oderteich, Märchenweg, Kaiserweg

Winter hike around the Oderteich, along the fairy tale path (Goetheweg) and via the Kaiserweg back to the Oderteich. Even if this is of course a very popular corner and you can't enjoy the winter feeling all by yourself, there are always very quiet phases, especially on the Fairytale Trail and along the Kaiserweg.
It is a bit slippery in …

May 19, 2023,Am Clausthaler Flutgraben – Wolfswarte 19.05.23

I've slightly modified the round from the original.

Of course, there was a lot going on in parts, especially around the lake. Very crowded, but beautifully landscaped.

It first went through the moor area, where I had to carry my dog over the boardwalks because it kept getting stuck in the gaps between the boards.
