Karst hiking trail southern Harz

In coöperation with the “Drei Länder — Ein Weg” karst hiking trail working group, you now have the opportunity to get to know the beauty of the karst region on your hikes to the stamp points on the karst hiking trail.

From Bad Grund in the west to Pöls­feld in the east of the south­ern Harz, you can expe­ri­ence caves, sink­holes, karst springs, wind­ing streams, rocks, rare ani­mals and plants, mag­nif­i­cent views and culi­nary and cul­tur­al highlights.

We hope you enjoy hik­ing in this unique nat­ur­al area, whose mas­cot is the bad­ger. Once you have vis­it­ed all 24 stamp points, you will receive a bad­ger hik­ing pin.
