Roman Battle at the Harzhorn

Highlight • Historical Site

Guided tours take place here all the time. Out of consideration, you should definitely only drive on the paths and get off and push a few meters when you encounter them.

The circular hiking trail at the site of the skirmish between Romans and Germans on the Harzhorn is highly recommended thanks to the individual informative stations. We started the circular route on the ridge (Teutons) and took the tour of the Romans on the return tour below the Harzhorn.

Once again we went wrong and discovered a feeding place. What the hell.
Otherwise a very nice round, great view. But also a lot of forest cut down. We'll do it again soon.
