Bear-Shaped Bee Hotel

Highlight • Structure

The "bear" carved from a tree trunk with a chainsaw also serves as a bee hotel (project "Bienotel")!
The tree trunk is a hollow body and the bees nest there.
The access to the hive with the honeycombs is on the back...closed as a precaution!

Hoher Kleef (HWN 88)

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Hoher Kleef you look straight down into the cave town of Rübeland. The Harzer-Hexen-Stieg takes you just a few meters past this place. Take the chance and get a stamp from the Harzer Wanderstift. If you are on the climb, you will have another view of the Brocken and the Wurmberg. There are hardly any free parking facilities in Rübeland.

Baumann Cave

A visit to the oldest show cave in Germany with the Goethesaal of an underground natural stage is always worthwhile.

June 16, 2025,Galgenberg (HWN 038) – Schornsteinberg (HWN 089) Runde von Stadt Elbingerode (Harz)

Today I wanted to see something different. So I started in Elbingerode and did a nice loop, collecting three Harz Hiking Badge stamps. Overall, a very nice loop.
