Sporty route with special scenic appeal
The highlight of the route is the Hahnenkleeklippen in the Harz National Park. These viewing rocks 200 m above the impressive Oder valley offer a magnificent view into the valley as well as of the opposite Rehberg and the Rehberger Graben running along the slope. The mountain meadows of Sankt Andreasberg are also visible from here.
For refreshments, the Waldgaststätte Rinderstall is recommended to recharge for the ascent on the return to Braunlage. The route leads you through the picturesque Lower Dreck valley past the Silberteich back to the starting point of the hike.
Author’s recommendation
To make the steep return to Braunlage easier, leave the circular route and go from the Waldgaststätte Rinderstall towards Oderhaus. From the "Oderhaus" bus stop, take bus line 820 towards Braunlage. This reduces the walking distance to 11.4 kilometers and the route can also be hiked with children from 10 years in 3 to 4 hours. Please check the bus connections in advance.
