Rosstrappen Downhill

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

The Rosstrappendownhill is part of the iXS German Downhillcup, the German mountain bike downhill "Bundesliga". Accordingly, it goes down well here, even if the track is one of the more technically simple. Nevertheless, the descent is fast and steep and comes up with some jumps and drops that make the whole thing really fun.

Thanks to the chairlift, you can then go straight back up and try again. The track is permanently open and a popular training spot in the Harz. Information can be found here: rosstrappendownhill.de

Blankenburg Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

The town hall of Blankenburg was built in the 16th century and is one of the architectural highlights of the old town of Blankenburg - not for nothing it is under monumental protection. In 1999, it was extensively restored and has been beaming with new splendor ever since. In the state-recognized resort town hall is not the only highlight for a long time. Other interesting buildings are the baroque castle, the "small castle", the ruin "Raubritterburg" or the natural monument Teufelsmauer.

View of the Wendefurth Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the Wendefurth dam, you can expect not only the view from the stamping point of the Harzer hiking nobility, but also the possibility of wall running, which is offered here, as well as boat rental. Food and drink are also possible. Below the wall are exhibits of turbine technology. The Harzer-Hexen-Stieg leads over the dam and goes a few hundred meters further into the famous Bodetal. There are parking spaces at the entrance to the dam.

Had to shorten it a bit. The trees on the trails got me down.
