Walking the bridge is really great. Due to the corona, this is currently only possible in one direction, on the dam wall next door you can then go back and see the imposing bridge from the side.

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the dam you have a wonderful panoramic view. But on weekends it's very crowded here when the weather is nice. No place where you can enjoy the peace!

Today, instead of just drinking a coffee in town, we went to the Harz to quickly get the special stamp on the Titan suspension bridge... and complete the Harzer-Hexen-Stieg stamp booklet.

For our farewell round we drove to the Rappbodetalsperre. A visit to the suspension bridge on the dam was planned. I was a bit worried because the bridge is always very busy on weekends. But despite a lot of people, we got our tickets quickly and didn't have to wait long at the entrance. Then they crossed the bridge with …

It was off to the Harz Mountains again.
We actually came for a concert tomorrow evening at the Thale Mountain Theater.
Since the rain was taking a break, we decided to try Harzdrenalin.

We were also excited …

The Rappbodetalsperre is the highest in Germany. The suspension bridge over the reservoir is the longest of its kind. After crossing the reservoir over the suspension bridge, we did a small circular hike to the Stemperhaus. This is a managed, rustic charcoal hut.

A really beautiful and versatile stamp tour. Especially the suspension bridge Titan-RT and the views around the Wendefurth dam are real highlights. Those who love viewpoints will get their money's worth on this tour. 🥾🌲🌉

Medium-difficult circular hike from the Harzköhlerei Stemberghaus (free car park) via the Rotestein to the Rappbodetalsperre with the suspension bridge and back. Beautiful views are guaranteed.
