best season

A circular hike of about 13 km along the Hassel forebay and the Rappbode forebay.

Two reservoirs, three stamps of the Harzer Wandernadel, and far-reaching views over the Harz mountains are offered to you by the two-dam hike. The first part of the hike takes you along the Hassel forebay. Numerous seating options give you the opportunity to enjoy the views and listen to the sounds of nature. After crossing the dam, your next destination is the Rappbode forebay. Very close to the dam there is the Rappbodeblick with a stamp point and viewing bench. The route continues along the Rappbode forebay, part of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg, to Trageburg. Here, the view of the Brocken massif and Wurmberg is a constant companion. Upon reaching Trageburg, it is good to take a rest and stamp the 3rd Harzer Wandernadel stamp in your booklet before returning to your starting point.
