Chestnut Avenue in the Selke Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here you walk through an avenue of old chestnut trees through the Selketal. The path is lined with cow pastures and meadows and here and there you can catch a glimpse of the impressive Falkenstein Castle.

Ackeburg Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Probably a refuge like the Rosstrappe, here the population withdrew during the war.
The path and the view into the Selketal are a dream.

September 18, 2024,Schirm (HWN 182), Selkesicht an der Ackeburg (HWN 204), Schutzhütte am Mettenberg (HWN 203) + Burgruine Anhalt (HWN 197) - Rundwanderung durch das Selketal ab Parkplatz Selkemühle

Starting point:

"Selkemühle" car park

You drive several kilometers on a narrow road at 30 km/h into "nowhere", but then you actually arrive at a car park. Be careful in wet weather: the car park is then quite muddy...

The tour includes the following stamp points for the Harz hiking badge:

Anhalt castle ruins right at the beginning - and that was a good thing 🙈
The steep path down into the Selketal is not necessarily good for people "with knees", then maybe the other way around
