Neuhof-Schwiebachtal Nature Trail

The tour starting directly at the train station connects a high-altitude hiking trail with beautiful panoramic views over the South Harz landscape, far into Thuringia and up to the Brocken, as well as geological and ecological features clearly illustrated by informative panels. You can walk the circular route either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the weather and position of the sun.

This nature trail shows you the diversity and beauty of the South Harz cultural landscape and imparts knowledge about agricultural land use. Interesting outcrops, where Upper Terrace gravel, copper shale, and Zechstein limestone are exposed, are also touched by the trail route.

At over 20 stations, you will learn interesting details about agriculture, geology, and ecology in the picturesque Schwiebachtal. Follow the trail markings that lead you back to the starting point.
