Great stamping point of the Harzer hiking nobility with a very nice view. The short steep path from the fairy tale reason is currently closed. We then decided to take the Philippsweg. Great views of the valley here too. Unfortunately, the toboggan run is not safe to walk on either.

Found a lot of rubbish in and around the hole in the hut yesterday... that makes it all a bit unsightly, unfortunate people who can't bring themselves to take their stuff back with them...

The Stöberhai, which is 731 meters high, is a bit of a challenge.

The campsite by the lake is fantastic, and we were lucky enough to snag a spot for our campervan on the half-empty site. 🙈 This meant we had a quiet place to sleep in the evening and a great starting point for our hike in the morning.

The path around the Ravensberg offers a lot of beautiful views, but in winter when the sun is shining I don't want to be anywhere else. 🤗

The “Phillippsgruss” pavilion is located northwest of Bad Sachsa on the Katzenstein near the Ravensberg (660 m above sea level). A regular guest of the climatic health resort had the pavilion built at this point because he particularly appreciated the view from this point, far beyond Bad Sachsa to Kyffhäuser. Below the Phillippsgruss is the oldest fairytale park in Germany, which was built in 1910. Even today, plastic figures and speech machines are deliberately avoided and various fairytale scenes are recreated using natural materials. The "Harzfalkenhof Bad Sachsa", which was founded in 1964, is very close to the Märchengrund. Since then, the Harzfalkenhof has been protecting birds of prey, breeding and researching birds of prey. It houses around 80 birds of prey, e.g. eagles, vultures, falcons, owls and other species. The flight demonstrations of falcons, eagles and other birds of prey are unique, but the breeding successes of birds kept in pairs in animal welfare-friendly aviaries are also impressive. Website of the Harzfalkenhof Bad Sachsa The quickest access to the Phillippsgruss is via a signposted narrow and steep path from the Märchengrund. A delightful hiking trail leads directly from the summit of the Ravensberg over the Käthe-Schulken-Hütte and the Ede-Baller-Weg to the Phillippsgruss.
