The path there leads through the idyllic spa gardens and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Another interesting route is the Hexenstieg, a well-known long-distance hiking trail that leads from Osterode to Thale and also passes through Blankenburg.

Hikes along the Selke Valley or to the Teufelsmauer, an impressive rock formation to the east of Blankenburg, are particularly appealing. Here visitors can not only admire the impressive nature, but also learn a lot about the geological history of this region.
