Stop Sternhaus Ramberg - Lange Allee - Bremer Pond - Bear Path - Bear Monument - Krebsbach Valley - Drahtzug - Selke Waterfall - Alexisbad

At the Sternhaus Ramberg stop, walk first against the direction of travel towards Lange Allee. About 5 meters behind the first “P” sign, a footpath turns into the forest. A narrow forest path leads to the alley. After crossing the railway crossing, follow Lange Allee for about 1.2 km and then turn left onto the access road to Bremer Pond (marking: green line). Behind Bremer Pond, Bear Path turns right. At the Bear Monument is stamp no. 184 of the Harz Hiking Badge. After a short break, return towards Bremer Pond. Shortly before the pond, turn right and follow Langenbergsweg to Krebsbach Valley. At the end of the Krebsbach Valley, the Drahtzug stop is reached. Here continue to follow the “green line” marking and now always walk along the Selke towards Alexisbad. You will pass the Selke Waterfall and the Cloister Mill. Via the Horst-Schöne-Weg, the former spa town Alexisbad is reached.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Those who want to shorten the route can skip the detour to the Bear Monument
(about 1.75 km). Return is also possible from the Drahtzug stop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Stamp hunters' should still get stamp no. 196 at Bremer Pond.

Safety guidelines

Extreme caution when crossing the railway tracks!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Drahtzug the path becomes very narrow.
