Selke Cycle Path at the Gatersleben Weir

Highlight • Cycleway

The access from the opposite side of the Selke is nicer than from the paved cycle path...

Asseburg Family Mausoleum (HWN 207)

Highlight • Monument

This old, listed mausoleum, which served as a burial place for the Counts of Asseburg-Falkenstein, is located on the outskirts of Meisdorf, right on the hiking trail. A number of information boards tell the story and there is also a stamp station for the Harz hiking badge (HWN 207) here.

Quedlinburg Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site
