Butterberg / Bad Harzburg
A special excursion tip for nature lovers is the natural history and geological geological trail on the Butterberg. Between ancient beeches, elms, ash trees, maple trees and rare plants such as arum, Turk's cap lily and larkspur, you can enjoy marvellous views of the Harz Mountains and the Harz foreland for one to two hours.
The strictly protected forest ecosystem, located parallel to the Ilsenburger Straße, is a particularly idyllic local recreation area and is rich in historical significance. The Butterberg is a mountain range at the foot of which people lived and hunted around 10,000 years ago.
The hiking trail leads along the narrow ridge of the mountain, past rock formations and giant trees, and offers a number of views of the Harz foreland. The trail is equipped with information boards on geology and flora as well as several benches for resting.
The interesting geological history and the unique geological formations of the Harz and the Harz foreland gave rise to the Harz-Braunschweig-Eastphalia Geopark in 2002.
North of Bad Harzburg, nature reserve, suitable for pushchairs to a limited extent.
Length approx. 4 - 5 km, duration 1 to 2 hours
