Secret tip for peaceful connoisseurs
A large meadow on the eastern edge of the Südharz, in the heart of the Karstlandschaft Südharz biosphere reserve. Over 8000 square meters, unsurfaced, right behind a family-run guesthouse at the forest. Bird song in the mornings, plus a small stream. In the evenings a fire burns, soup hangs from a tripod. The Karstwanderweg hiking trail passes by gypsum caves and wild garlic forests; in spring wood anemones carpet the ground. The Brocken is a bit further north. Rolls and jam available for an extra charge. Dogs welcome.1

Sights in the area1
Karst Trail (Karstwanderweg)
The long-distance path runs along the southern Harz edge, past gypsum cliffs, sinkholes and caves; the stages split easily into day walks.
Teufelsmauer (Hamburger Wappen)
Strange sandstone crags in the northern Harz, a bit of a drive away; the short ridge path is enough for the view when you want out of the gypsum country.
Brocken Railway
The narrow-gauge steam train climbs from Wernigerode to the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz; the classic when your legs won't do the climbing.
Erfurt Old Town
Cathedral and Severikirche stand side by side above the old town, around 58 km away; the city day when the Harz turns too wet.
