Harzer Hexenstieg

Length: 97 kilometres, 8 days

In the middle of the Harz mountains lies the Hexenstieg (witches' way) – a bewitchingly beautiful and devilishly twisting 100-odd kilometre footpath right through the most northerly of Germany's central mountain ranges and over the Brocken, rich in local legends. The footpath runs from Osterode in the West to Thale in the East (or vice versa) and is suitable for the whole family.

The full beauty of the Harz mountains lies at your feet, bright mixed woods and thick pine woods, colourful mountain meadows and towering cliffs, bubbling streams and majestic reservoirs. The route leads through both the Harz and Hochharz national parks and the rangers will be happy to accompany you along a stretch of the route and let you in on some of nature's secrets. Be sure to bring waterproof clothing and good boots, however - this is after all alpine country!
