Very interesting to look at and a beautiful place to relax

Swimming is permitted near the dam. While there was very little water when I was there, the entry is always very shallow. It's also suitable for children. The water is very soft and boggy, making it very dark, and you can only see a few centimeters into the water. This gives the impression that the drop-in is steep. It's very shallow.

Wooden boardwalk at the Oderteich

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This beautiful break bench with a view of the Oderteich is totally rustic. A widening of the path especially for the bank 😁.

Oderteich | Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

The Oderteich pond is worth a visit at any time of year. From here, you can also hike to the Wolfswarte, to the Achtermannshöhe, or along the Rehberger Graben.

For my day off, I chose a little walk around the area to explore. There are so many options, places and destinations here, it's so hard to decide ;)

I started with the rocky, rooty climb to Achtermannshöhe - it's a beautiful path. It's pretty windy up there, but you get a great view. The route leads back along the …

This was our third, final, and most challenging tour 🥵🐕😱.

The lovely sun was very kind to us at the end, but the many cloud formations today were 🫶. Little Benji 🐕 and I mastered the paths over hill and dale quite well.

We also had very wide and good views today.

October 1, 2023,Aufstieg zur Achtermannshöhe und zurück über den Oderteich

Today we started at the Königskrug in the Hochharz near the Torfhaus and first climbed to the Achtermannshöhe at 925m. From there we went along the Kaiserweg towards the west and then went gently down to Oderbrück, where we crossed the B4. From there continue along the Oberen Oderweg, which leads along the Oder. But this is not the Oder …

Yesterday, on the third and last day of my Harz hike, I drove near the Brocken 🗻 and there I set off on the Achtermannshöhenrunde.
I became aware of this tour through Instagram, - another hiker "named Hege," who posts a lot of hikes.
When we arrived for this hike, both of the two large parking lots were packed, 😱 …

A short detour to the waterfall is also very worthwhile. Afterwards you can eat a giant cream puff at the Gasthaus Königskrug 😋 Right at the parking lot 🚙

April 28, 2024,Achtermannshöhe (HWN 12) – Überlaufschütze Runde von Villenviertel

A well-walkable hike with great views.
The starting point is a free car park near an inn.
The ascent to the Achtermann can be done either via a short and difficult path (as in this tour) or via a longer and easier path (please note the signposts). In both cases you should be sure-footed as the path is very rocky. …
