Oderteich sun cap (HWN 217)

Highlight • River

Meeting point and stamping point, even without a rest area, there are enough opportunities to relax.
There is even a small stone beach.

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.

October 6, 2025,🍂 von St.Andreasberg nach Braunlage 🍂

The last day in the Harz Mountains... the weather remained consistently unsettled, but yesterday's break was just right. Today we marched through with almost no problems. 👍🏼

The start was in St. Andreasberg. From here, we quickly went to the Dreibrodestein (HWN 12) and back, then walked in the other direction to the Rehberger Grabenhaus (HWN 155).

July 29, 2024,Große Stempelrunde zw. Braunlage 👑(HWN 12,75,148,123,154,155,217)

Great big round to collect stamps with lots of highlights and great, mostly varied and sometimes challenging paths. Achtermannshöhe, Hahnenkleeklippen, Silberteich, Gasthaus Rinderstall, Rehberger Grabenhaus, Dreibodestein, and finally Oderteich. There were too many people there for me. Probably because of the holidays. Otherwise this is a beautiful lake!!! Unfortunately I forgot stamp 155 (Rehberger Grabenhaus). I should have turned right …

November 12, 2023,MSB X-Trail - Achtermann und zurück

Today's hike started at the MSB X-Trail in St Andreasberg. I just had to check out the site of the August accident. It was right 😉
The tour continued to the Achterman... always found it great. There was even some snow there.
Then down over the Kaiserweg, on to the Oder ponds and on various single trails back to St. …

Today we paid the Harz another visit in the best sunshine😀.

We started in St. Andreasberg in the direction of Achtermann via Rinderstall, Silberteich and Hahnenkleeklippen, and then took the way back along the Oderteich and the Rehberger Grabenhaus.

On the way today we met a lot of people who were happy to hike. We were all the more surprised …

May 21, 2022,Hopp hopp hoch 🥾 zum Achtermann🤩

Today, after the weather cooled down a bit and there was finally some rain 🌧, we headed up towards the Achtermann to enjoy the view there. The way up was really great today and the aft man itself was hardly visited (in contrast to last year when it was warm and you had to push your way through☹️).
But the …

It was supposed to be a cozy final round of this holiday week. But I was in a good mood and also good on time and so I spontaneously decided to make a "detour". But the ascent to the Achtermann cliff was absolutely worth it (of course the shorter way, otherwise it would be too easy) and is my absolute …

May 6, 2025,Harz: Königskrug / Hahnekleeklippen / Rehberger Graben / Oderteich / Achtermannshöhe

Finally, experiencing the Harz in sunshine! From the Königskrug (which, incidentally, serves the best royal cream puffs in the Harz), I head to the Hahnekleeklippen, and it's damn cold for May, at around +1°C. The view from the Hahnekleeklippen is magnificent! I slowly continue hiking toward the Rinderstall inn, and unfortunately, it feels like it's getting colder and colder. At …
