A fantastic little hike through the bison herds. An absolute highlight hike in the Harz Mountains!

Bison, whether grazing in the pasture (or sitting in the meat counter), are something special!

We parked directly below the Nordmann Riding and Sports Hotel.
And from there, we hiked; there are good trails behind the hotel that you can hike.
If you're up for it, you can also take tours through the bison enclosure, but we didn't do that; we just watched the animals from a distance.

Yesterday I was at the mini-camper meeting in Eckernförde, and today I was hunting for stamp boxes in the Harz Mountains. I'm traveling alone; unfortunately, my girlfriend has to work. I spent last night in Peine so I didn't have to travel for five hours straight.

A beautiful and rather leisurely hike through the Harz Forest. The bison enclosure is definitely the highlight – it's impressive to see these large animals up close. The rest area at Cluesberg is perfect for a short break before heading back. Overall, a peaceful and very pleasant hike. 🌲🥾🦬
