Harzer BaudenSteig 4: From Bad Lauterberg to Bad Sachsa

Short description

From Bad Lauterberg to Bad Sachsa. A shorter stage with enough time to visit the sights of both places. Children have fun at Märchengrund in Bad Sachsa or at Harzfalkenhof.

Description

From Bad Lauterberg to Bad Sachsa, the 4th stage of the BaudenSteig leads. From Kurpark in Bad Lauterberg, it goes over the Oder towards Wiesenbeker Teich, a reservoir created by Lauterberg miners a long time ago. Today, there is a boat rental and a lodge for refreshment at the lakeshore. Then there are still some meters of altitude to overcome until Ravensberg. The 64 m high tower is striking. It served as a listening post during the Cold War. Just before Ravensberg is the Dreiherrenstein. Until 1866, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Hanover, and the Duchy of Brunswick bordered each other here. From Ravensberg (659 m above sea level), you can see as far as the Brocken and far into the Thuringian countryside on clear days. In winter, the ski center at Ravensberg attracts with truly steep descents, lovely cross-country trails, and toboggan runs. Soon you can see Bad Sachsa in the valley. As early as 1864, spa guests were sent to Sachsa by external doctors. Today, Bad Sachsa offers numerous spa facilities, a beautiful bathing landscape, and a cozy old town as a stage destination. The Harzfalkenhof and the Fairy Tale Park are also an experience for children.
