Path to Tränkebach Hut

Highlight • Trail

The signpost to the Tränkebachhütte is missing here. Simply follow the trail through the forest; it's only a good 100m.

Today I went on a beautiful hike in the Harz Mountains near Lautenthal with my daughter Aliya!

Our hike took us to two exciting destinations on the Harz Hiking Badge:

HWN 103 Luchsstein

HWN 104 Tränkebachhütte

At first, fog enveloped the forests in a mystical atmosphere – but later, the sun came out and we were rewarded with pleasant weather.

A short tour near Lautenthal to the Luchsstein and the Tränkebachbütte. Here you can get the stamps HWN 103 and 104 😊
Otherwise this path was very wet! From below and from above.

Actually a nice round. Only the last 1.5km were like an escape room (find the way out). The path just wasn't where it was supposed to be. So the direct connection to the next path taken.
