Rappbode Dam and Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Walking the bridge is really great. Due to the corona, this is currently only possible in one direction, on the dam wall next door you can then go back and see the imposing bridge from the side.

September 3, 2024,🌞 Rappbodetalsperre 🌤️ Harz ( Tag 10/1 )

On my last day in the Harz, I wanted to go to the Rappbode Dam and look at the suspension bridge... yes, I really just wanted to look at it, I didn't walk over it 🫣.

Anything that moves in any way and is high up makes me dizzy and triggers other stimuli 😵‍💫🤢🤮

January 13, 2025,Familienwandertag an der Rappbodetalsperre - Über die Titan RT zum Rotestein

For my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, we went from our holiday home in Quedlinburg to the Rappbode Dam. Once over the suspension bridge and from there to the Rotestein lookout point and back again. Wonderful weather and a great view of the Brocken were guaranteed! Unfortunately, the Harz charcoal kiln was closed.😭

There was still a short lap before we plunged into the traffic. The path wasn't spectacular, but the viewpoints were still worth it.

October 8, 2021,Wandern mit Kindern, mit ÖPNV: Von der Rappbodetalsperre nach Stemberghaus-Köhlerei (HWN 54, 60)

Since the bus stop for bus 260 is in front of the dam, a walk over the dam or the Titan RT suspension bridge is a great start. The conclusion not only offers a stamping station and a restaurant, but also a stop for the 260 bus.

July 16, 2023,Harzdrenalin, Rappbodetalsperre HWN 54/60🍀

Redeemed a gift at the Megazipline today.
Then another promising round on the Rappbode am Rotestein.
The conclusion was at the Harzkohlerei Sternberghaus
(there the wooden sculpture was made by the recently deceased Brocken Benno).
The Harz always works.
