View from the summit of Hoppelberg

Highlight • Summit

The old summit cross is about to dissolve completely, whereas a breathtaking view over the Harz foreland is offered. Halberstadt in sight and even Magdeburg with binoculars!
Children should be supervised while climbing - there are no handrails

May 2, 2023,Hoppelberg,Hoppelnase,Höhlenhäuser Runde um Langenstein

Nice hike starting at a memorial. Beautiful old town with quaint details. The old cave dwellings are accessible free of charge and look like they are from another world. Then we went to a small lake, to the glass monk via a long, steep staircase. A very exciting and interesting round in things-Anhalt around Langenstein.

Very varied tour. Depressing start at the former Langenstein concentration camp. Then we went up the Hoppelberg to the Hoppelnase and after a detour through the Langenstein castle park we went back over the Gläserner Mönch.

Unfortunately we just missed the opening times of the cave dwellings.

Depressing start at the former Langenstein Zwieberge concentration camp.
The tour was beautiful and very varied. We went over the Hoppelberg through the Langenstein castle park and the town to the Glass Monk.

Winter sun tour.
Great paths over the Hoppelberg and along the southern edge of the Spiegelberge. In between there is important historical reminder and finally a look into the cave dwellings.

😱🫣😢😕It was a very moving, emotional, and goosebump-inducing tour at the beginning and end,
the Langenstein Concentration Camp Memorial😢...when you read through everything about how the people there used to live: no food, no hygiene, no new clothes, and then we complain about little things🤷🤔😳, it really moves me today☹️.

After four days of rain-related "forced break" we started again today and even with quite a bit of sunshine. This time to Langenstein with its cave dwellings, which remind a little of small hobbit caves. It went over the Hoppelberge to the Langenstein-Zwieberge memorial and then over the Thekenberge back to the starting point.

July 5, 2025,Communitywanderung von"Unterwegs im Freien " 💚

Today I went on Tom's community hike "Outdoors." 🥰
It was my first time hiking in the Halberstadt/Langenstein area.
Unfortunately, the cave dwelling was closed...I would have loved to see it from the inside 🤗.
There was even food, which I wasn't expecting at all 🤗
It was a really nice hike 💚I'd love to do it again 🤘🥳
