Highlight • Lake

Good for a road bike tour despite the traffic. The two-lane road is so well developed that overtaken cars usually don't push you very often.

Relatively short but nice tour to the situation control room. Beautiful view of the Bocksberg, Wolfshagen, the Brocken and the Innerstentalsperre! Was really worth it.

July 26, 2022,Wanderung Vom Innerste Stausee zur Lageswarte HWN 102

Beautiful hike from the innermost reservoir to the HWN 102 situation control room. You always have a view of the reservoir. The further you go, the smaller the lake seems.
Mostly solid forest path, the last stretch from the club square is a bit steeper, at least here you should wear good shoes. Especially for the descent, when it's wet …

April 18, 2025,Langelsheim - Ab Parkplatz Inerstetalsperre

A short hike with the goal of collecting a stamp.

There's plenty of parking at the Inerste Dam, although it can certainly get crowded. The dam has a swimming area, and in summer, hikers aren't the only ones to be found here.

The fourth round of today's hiking day took us from the Innerstestausee to the Lageswarte stamping point, HWN 102. The starting point and therefore 🅿️ was directly at the Innerstetalsperre. After crossing the dam wall, it went almost steadily uphill until we reached the club square after about 4.5 km. The last 500 m led us to the situation control …

Beautiful hike along the slope towards the sun. The wind was still quite fresh at times.
But it's slowly getting better 🤩

Tour on the Harzer Försterstieg and the Lindtalsweg on easily walkable paths. There are several places to rest along the way. We were almost alone on the entire tour.
