June 5, 2025,Bad Lauterberg - Bismarckturm Grosser Knollen - Bad Lauterberg
I'm hiking in the South Harz Mountains for 2.5 days. I'm staying in Bad Lauterberg. Today I hiked to the Grosser Knollen (HWN 150), some of which were very beautiful forest paths, although some of the paths were quite overgrown. My first destination was the Bismarck Tower (HWN 115), which stands on Mount Kummel. From the observation tower, you have …

Yesterday, we were fit as a fiddle on the Brocken, and today we felt like we were making our way to the Bismarck Tower and the Grosser Knollen at a snail's pace.
With an average speed of just 4 km/h, we reached the Grosser Knollen after 4 hours. Kilometers covered up to that point: 8.7. Yes, I admit - sometimes …

A beautiful hike in the most beautiful sunshine. The surroundings are beautiful and the coming spring does the rest. Everywhere the delicate green that comes to light makes you want more. And the small spa town of Bad Lauterbach is always worth a visit

I “stole” this tour. Unfortunately I don't remember who. Thank you for that. The elevation gain is a bit exaggerated. Komoot was confused! It was fun.

I really liked the circular route. For the most part I ran through beautiful, still intact mixed forest on forest paths that were a bit adventurous for me. On the way back I walked longer along the straight Lutter. Although it was on an asphalt path, it was simply picturesque to walk along the babbling river, take a foot bath …

Swimming quality: 👎🏻
Kneipp quality: 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻


It was something like that when the big tuber popped up and that's why we dared to dance on the volcano today 😃
The Baudensteig - somehow it is wrongly always somewhat in the shadow of its big brother, the Teufelsstieg - which is really a shame, okay, it has no Bodetal, no Brocken, …

Today there was a small and fine hike in Bad Lauterberg. Through a typical Harz landscape, we went to the Knollenkreuz and continued to the Großer Knollen to collect stamps of the Harzer Wandernadel. The way back to the parking lot led through the scenically beautiful Luttertal.

A lovely loop up to the Gr. Knollen and down to the Knollenkreuz. The weather was perfect! 15°C and 🌤
