Circular hiking trail Rotestein - suspension bridge - Harzköhlerei (short) (HWN 54,60 & 9915)

After you have enjoyed the breathtaking view and your picnic, you continue to the suspension bridge and the Rappbode dam as well as all events of Harzdrenalin according to the signs. It is approx. 2.3 km to the Rappbode dam.

Be sure to visit the Harzdrenalin area. Walk over the mighty dam wall with fantastic views of the Rappbode Dam or on the right side of the RT Titan suspension bridge, which stretches parallel to the wall. Experience pure action and unique experiences in the middle of the unique nature of the Harz: Megazipline, Titan RT, Gigaswing, Wallrunning, Ultrashot, observation tower, 5D cinema and much more. Be sure to visit the "Typisch Harz" shop and find your regional holiday souvenir here. After a brief stay, it's back to the circular hiking trail. You can either hike back on the dam wall or venture back over the suspension bridge with a special stamp.

Back to the Harzköhlerei, it goes along the road on a beaten track towards the B81 (alternative car park Harzdrenalin). At the end of the car park, cross the B81 near the bus stop and from there walk on the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg to your starting point - the Harzköhlerei Stemberghaus.

TIP: Visit the first German charcoal burner museum on the site of the Harzköhlerei. Here you get insights into the history of the development of charcoal burning and learn about the difficult conditions under which the charcoal burners lived and worked, e.g. B. using foam dividers. In the charcoal burner shop you can buy charcoal burner specialties, souvenirs and charcoal.

Don't forget to pack your (mobile phone) camera, the Harzer Wandernadel stamp booklet and, if necessary, binoculars.

On some sections of the route, short-term impairments, detours and road closures can occur at any time due to forest changes and storm damage. Inform yourself shortly before your hike.
