Highlight • Viewpoint

I like the Altenauer Herzweg. Nicely done. The stamp station would be better placed higher up. There you have a nicer view. At the bench.

Today we set out on the Altenau Heart Trail. We started at the tourist information office in the Altenau spa park. We walked along very beautiful and varied paths past a total of 17 stations on the topic of the heart. Highly recommended!!!

The actual start is at the Kurhaus, but for park organizational and name reasons it started at the Hotel Engel.😊😉

Very nice tour around Altenau. The time stated here is not accurate at all, we needed twice as long, took lots of breaks and read the signs carefully. I can definitely recommend the tour.

I spontaneously decided to take the new ♥️ path in Altenau today. It's beautifully laid out and wonderful to walk. Komoot was a bit crazy at the beginning, so of course I didn't walk between the houses, but instead took a nice walk along the forest path.😉

Today we hiked the Altenauer Herzweg ♥️ in the best sunshine ☀️ All in all it was a little long-winded. The stamp stations were very lovingly created, but it all dragged on. We like the Liebesbankweg better.
Still a sunny tour in the beautiful Harz. 😎☀️👍
