View of Königshütte

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the castle ruins you have a beautiful view of Königshütte. If you walk down the path behind the castle, you will find out that the Bode flows via the Elbe and the North Sea into the Atlantic.

Steep trail to the Königsburg ruins

Highlight • Trail

Very steep but interesting single trail down from the castle ruins. The path up is also steep but nice and narrow.

Kalte Bode

Highlight • River

It's always nice to see such a little river rippling away. Just stand on the bridge and enjoy the moment for a moment.

Rappbodeblick (Trautenstein) HWN 56

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a great view of the dam, a bench invites you to take a break and HWN stamp collectors are also rewarded.

Trautenstein dam circular route

Highlight • Trail

The approximately 8 km around the reservoir are among the most beautiful hikes in the Upper Harz Mountains for me; narrow paths, top views, and the Scandinavian fjord feeling make the hike special.
