Beautiful landscape, only for no preparation I would not dare. The resin has it all.

Cycle Path Between Walkenried and Ellrich

Highlight • Cycleway

This newly built cycle path runs between the towns of Ellrich and Walkenried, relatively centrally between the southern country road leading from Ellrich to Walkenried and the northern country road leading to Zorge. I can only recommend using this path to anyone who wants to cycle between these places.
On the one hand, it allows you to avoid using the relatively narrow roads that are dangerous for cyclists; on the other hand, the newly built part of the path ends relatively centrally on the field path leading from Walkenried to the former "Aukopf" vantage point.
The further cycle paths to Bad Sachsa, Wieda or Zorge can be reached from here just as easily as access to the Kaiserweg leading from Tilleda to Goslar: harzinfo.de/erlebnisse/tour/kaiserweg

St. Spiritus Church (Capella Infirmorum) in Ellrich

Highlight • Religious Site

On the Ellrich church hiking trail you can get to know all 10 churches in the Ellrich parish. Stamp box number 9 is located right next to the church.

The St. Spiritus Church has a votive stone from 1461 that is worth seeing and which depicts a Pieta. You can read a short note about this in the church hiking trail booklet.
