Meisdorf Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The site is a listed tunnel with a source.
The strull consists of a semicircular stone frame in the middle of which a small spring flows out of a pipe. The source version was made in 1937 on the occasion of a Golden Wedding in the family of Asseburg. Above the source is an inscription stone in the middle.

Fritz Heckert FDGB Holiday Home Ruins

Highlight • Structure

A really interesting lost place, beautified by some "artists", and a great photo opportunity.

It's a shame about what was once such a beautiful object - it was even featured on a special stamp.

Forest Path Along the Selke River

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful landscape in the Selketal with many cycling and hiking trails. Among other things, you can also find the Harzer Red Mountain Cattle here, a very old breed of cattle.

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.
