The approximately 100 km of the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg trail are managed by the Harzer Verkehrsverband e.V. and Harzklub e.V. and lead from Osterode to Thale. You can even choose between two routes: either climb the Brocken (the highest mountain) or take the Brocken bypass, which is a few kilometers longer. That said, if you’re already in the Harz Mountains and the weather isn’t too bad, there’s really no reason not to hike up the Brocken.
The main route of the “Harzer-Hexen-Stieg” runs through Osterode – Buntenbock – Altenau – Torfhaus – Brocken – Drei-Annen-Hohne – Königshütte – Altenbrak – Bodetal.
Markings & Maps
The trail is marked with witches—a typical Harz motif—sprayed onto trees, signs, and the like. You could say the trail is well marked, but a map is always a good idea.
Official maps of the Harz Hexen-Stieg are available from Schmidt-Buch-Verlag and are published at a scale of 1:30,000. You can also purchase the maps and additional literature at amazon.de
.
Overnight Accommodations
If you want to hike the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg in one go, you’ll inevitably have to think about where to stay overnight. At the start of the trail, if you’d like to camp, you’ll find campgrounds, though these become increasingly scarce as you get closer to Thale. So if you don’t want to risk a fine for wild camping, you’ll have no choice but to stay in huts, hotels, or similar accommodations. These are generally easy to find at every stage destination. If you want to plan your overnight stays in more detail, you can find the appropriate contact at the tourist information office.
