    The jewel in the crown of the extensive network of hiking trails around the active and climatic health resort of Hahnenklee-Bockswiese is the Liebesbankweg - a 7-kilometre circular hiking trail and the first classified premium hiking trail in the Harz Mountains and Lower Saxony. There is plenty for young and old to discover along the way: ponds and dams of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Upper Harz Water Management", the amazing surrounding natural landscape, 25 lovingly crafted benches and numerous art objects along the way. Both newlyweds and couples who have been married for many years will find an unforgettable experience here. The exciting water playground is just one of many highlights for all young hikers.

    Roadbook

    Starting from the large parking lot at the stave church (Tor der Liebe), after a few meters you will cross the former bobsleigh and luge track and the "Familienabfahrt" ski slope. The hiking trail runs parallel to the summit with a comfortable incline up the Bocksberg. Take advantage of the lovingly designed benches and places to stop for a picnic and enjoy the view of Hahnenklee again and again on the ascent to the Bocksberg. Below the summit, you will reach the Liebesbank hut and the access road to the Bocksberg summit. The trail continues past the Auerhahn and the ponds of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Harz Water Management, where you will reach another refreshment stop at the Upper Grumbach Pond, Café Egerland. The 7-kilometre circular trail takes you back to your starting point, the large parking lot at the stave church.

    During your hike, it is also worth making a detour to the "ErlebnisBocksBerg". You can reach it by turning right after the Liebesbank hut. The asphalted Bocksbergstraße leads you directly to the 726 m high local mountain. Once on the Bocksberg, the 1,250 m "BocksBergBob" summer toboggan run and the Bocksberghütte, which invites you to stop off and linger, await you.

    Hallo! Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, gibt es ein Stück bergab auf einen schmalen Weg inkl. Schotter/Geröll. Das macht bestimmt nicht viel Spaß. Viele Grüße!

    Dem kann ich mich nur anschließen. Von Hahnenklee hinauf zum Bocksberg geht es über eine Forststraße und lässt sich gut laufen. Im weiteren wird der Weg schmaler und ist teilweise mit Steinen und Wurzeln durchzogen.
