Those who do not know this route yet or only a part of it has not yet experienced in the Harz mountains should definitely experience this route, as it contains many classic experiences of the Harz mountains. The almost 50 kilometres long route leads over 1200 metres altitude difference through beautiful deciduous and coniferous forests of the Harz up to the Brocken. One is surrounded by trees and at morning or evening hours one can observe with luck, hunting and songbirds as well as deer and foxes. In these hours you have the possibility to watch breathtaking sunrises or sunsets. Along the way there are some information boards about local vegetation and local animal species. The Brocken is always well signposted as a destination. If I have reached the top of the mountain, the visibility is 50-100 km if the weather is good. It is especially recommendable to reach this in the early morning, so that one has to share the routes on the top with a few hikers. On the way back, it is almost exclusively downhill to the Drei Annen Hohne, which offers further good perspectives over the forests. Once you have arrived at the Zillierbach dam, you can take a last rest and enjoy the view over the lake before heading to Wernigerode.
