Meeting point and stamping point, even without a rest area, there are enough opportunities to relax.

This beautiful break bench with a view of the Oderteich is totally rustic. A widening of the path especially for the bank 😁.

April 24, 2022,Wurzelweg am Oderteich Runde von Oderbrück

A nice round around the Oderteich. Only to recommend; as well as the coffee flap at the beginning/end in Oderbrück.

Eike with his Limerick turned our hike around:
"Three hiking men*
when climbing root paths
there they found mushrooms
the lightning flashed
the taste drove her crazy."

June 17, 2021,Oderteichrunde mit Wurzelweg von Parkplatz Oderbrück

This evening hike today covered an easy 6.5 km around the beautiful Oderteich from the Oderbrück car park 🥾🌄🥾. Very nice paths, especially the "root path" was great!

March 23, 2025,Oderteich mit Umweg-HWN 217

Another beautiful loop, this time with less of an incline!

The circular route around Lake Odersee is really easy to follow; if you want, you can take a short detour or just start from there. A small shop along the road sells drinks and snacks, which is really nice if you decide to take the short detour.

The last time we were in the Harz was 10 years ago.
We could still smell the forest 🌳 and their juices and resins!
So sad 😞!

Added a few photos now. As is (almost) always the case here, unedited from my cell phone - edited ones are often available on my Instagram profile.

We start the tour at the parking lot or bus stop in Oderbrück.
This popular circular trail leads you through the diverse natural landscape of the Harz National Park. The section on the eastern shore is particularly charming, where you'll walk along rustic root paths and wooden boardwalks, crossing boggy terrain. Keep an eye out for the moorland plants and …
