The forests of Bad Harzburg, which seem so lonely, were not so lonely in the past, but the forests of the "wild ones".

We start our hike at the HarzWaldHaus at the Kurpark. Through the forests of the Riefenbach Valley, we slowly walk up to Schnabelgasse and reach the Papenberg circular route. Shortly after the beginning of the route, we could make a detour up to the Schmalenberg cliff. On the way back, we go down the Ahrendsberger Stieg into Kästestraße and continue to the starting and finishing point, Kurpark.
