Hiking Events

Hiking fun among like-minded people

The Harz region reveals a varied landscape with forests and mountains along its trails. In this region, which is among the most popular hiking areas in Germany, numerous hiking events take place every year. These include 24-hour tours, hikes over the Brocken, and charity events. This way, nature lovers of all ages and fitness levels can find suitable options.

You can take part individually or as part of a team. During the organised hikes, the organisers ensure reliable coordination, food stops, and small attractions along the route. At the finish line, your achievement is recognised. The focus is on the shared experience of the Harz landscape and the exchange with other people who enjoy spending time in nature.

The Harz Witch Trail

Hiking for a good cause

At the Harzer Hexentrail in Osterode am Harz, you and your team will walk or run about 60 kilometres through the Harz countryside. You have up to 15 hours to complete the route. The main focus is on tackling this sporting challenge together. It’s not only about endurance but above all about teamwork. With a team donation, you also support charitable projects in the region – fully in line with the motto: The Harz makes wishes come true.
