Luther Trail, experience nature over 74 km

In recent months, the Harz Regional Association, together with Standortmarketing Südharz and the Harz Hiking Needle, has greatly enhanced the Luther Trail in the Harz Nature and Geopark.

Along 74 km between Rodishain in Thuringia and the “Kalten Stelle” in Unter­riß­dorf near Eisleben, three nature expe­ri­ence sta­tions were installed, a vine­yard was renat­u­ral­ized, new infor­ma­tion boards were set up and 10 spe­cial stamp­ing points for the Harz hik­ing pin were established.

In order to be award­ed the Luther Rose, the 10 stamp impres­sions must be ver­i­fied in a very infor­ma­tive book­let accom­pa­ny­ing the Luther Trail. The book­let is now avail­able from the Harz­er Wan­dern­nadel ser­vice office, many tourist infor­ma­tion offices, the Karst­land­schaft Süd­harz bios­phere reserve and the Harz­er Wan­der­nadel web store.
