Thale walks

The Adlereiche Walk in Friedrichsbrunn is a moderate, family-friendly circular walk with places to stop for refreshments. From the car park, heading towards Allrode/Güntersberge, the route leads past the Klobenbergbaude and along Brandholzstraße to the Adlereiche and on to the Friedrichsbrunner Blick. The route then follows the forest road into the centre of Friedrichsbrunn and back along the main road to the starting point. A varied circular walk for anyone who wants to enjoy nature and leisurely hiking trails.

We start at the Netzkater train station. Immediately afterwards, a steep climb through wooded terrain to Poppenberg (601 m), where a steel tower stands, offering beautiful views. Many valleys pass by beautiful vistas and strangely shaped large boulders. The final section is quite steep!

Literature meets nature: the Balladenweg in Molmerswende combines hiking with the fascinating stories surrounding the poet Gottfried August Bürger. The circular route, approximately 6.5 km long, winds through the varied landscape around his birthplace. Far from the noise of roads and traffic, the route invites you to enjoy a relaxing break in the heart of nature. Here, the tranquillity of the countryside blends with Molmerswende’s literary heritage. In future, audio stations are to be installed along the trail, where visitors can experience selected ballads and further content relating to Gottfried August Bürger. The circular trail is particularly suitable for literature enthusiasts, families and walkers who wish to combine nature, culture and regional history. The result is a special walking trail in the Mansfeld-Südharz region that charmingly combines physical activity with literary discoveries.

The first section was very pleasant, through a protected nature reserve. The second part of the walk was quite boring. The section along the Grensweg, however, was very interesting. Lots of dead trees due to the bark beetle.

A quiet, not too long walk to a beautiful viewpoint with a lovely hut. Park at the Wieda bus stop. The walk leads through a forest with many deciduous trees. At the end of the walk, you'll pass through the village.

Hiking to the Brocken in the footsteps of Goethe is a true Harz experience. The highest peak in northern Germany has been inspiring travellers, poets and naturalists for centuries – from Goethe to Humboldt. To this day, the Brocken has lost none of its fascination: along the Goethe Trail, you can expect stunning natural scenery, fascinating traces of cultural history and the special atmosphere of the Harz National Park. A tour that uniquely combines history and landscape.

A beautiful circular walk starting from the charming town of Bad Sachsa. It begins along the lake with its many hotels and spas. It runs through extensive forests (unfortunately, there are some fallen trees here and there). Beautiful view from the Ravensberg.
