Hiking Hanskuehnenburg near Braunlage by E-Bike
- Written by Portal Editor
The Hanskuehnenburg is a managed mountain hut in the western Harz Mountains, near the well-known winter sports resort of Braunlage.
It stands at 811 m above sea level. NHN on the "Auf dem Acker" ridge in the middle of the Harz National Park and has an imposing lookout tower that offers a wonderful view of the Brocken and the Wurmberg, if the weather permits. Which brings us to the topic: the weather. Our goal was to approach this Hanskuehnenburg with the e-bike from the Prahljust campsite, which should mean covering a distance of about 20 kilometres. Sunny weather at the campsite also seemed to speak for the tour, since the roads were already free of snow and ice anyway. However, since we didn't necessarily want to drive on the streets, we looked for a passable route with the help of the various apps.
On forest and forest paths to Hanskuehnenburg
Here we then turned right, always thinking that we were still heading in the right direction to Hanskuehnenburg.
Since some forest paths were closed due to the woodwork, so we had to cycle detours, we eventually reached the confluence of the Großer and Kleiner Söse, just before Kammschlacke, in other words completely wrong.
Large parts of the path were so wet or stony that pushing was difficult despite the pushing aid.
Then finally, after at least 36 kilometres (about 20 kilometres were planned), we finally arrived at the Hanskuehnenburg.
A warm cocoa and the picnic we brought should quickly replace the lost energy, very important, although we didn't know what was to come. Luckily we had also used the option of recharging our batteries directly at the restaurant.
The Hanskuehnenburg Bause - also a bicycle charging station
At the end of the 19th century, the Osterode branch of the Harz Club built the first wooden observation tower and a serviced refuge on the densely wooded ridge, which were inaugurated in 1889. The tower was not up to the weather and was so damaged in 1912 that it had to be demolished. A year later, the Hanover branch began building a stone tower on the same site, which was completed in 1914.
With the 13.5 km long field trail completed in 1976, the Hanskuehnenburg became a popular resting place for cross-country skiers in winter.
Since the 1960s, the forest on the Ackerkamm has been declining more and more as a result of the forest dieback. Until then, the cottage was hidden in dense forests, but today it is visible from afar.
Hiking trails to Hanskuehnenburg
There is a large parking lot and a bus stop. From the Stieglitzecke there are two ways to the Hanskuehnenburg. The path on the east side, the so-called Ackerstraße, is a wide forest path with only one notable incline just before the cottage. Significantly better views, especially in the morning, can be found along the Reitstieg on the western side of the field. However, this path is very uneven and therefore quite exhausting. The tower is only accessible during the opening hours of the restaurant.
The Hanskuehnenburg is included as no. 144 in the system of stamping points of the Harzer hiking nobility. We will report on this in detail later. It is also at the highest point of the Harzer Baudensteig.
And then came the way back to Clausthal-Zellerfeld
