König-Hübich-Route around Bad Grund

A huge rock pin marks the main entrance to the "König-Hübich-Route": the Hübichenstein. The circular route many views into the five valleys of Bad Grund. It combines many cultural and natural sights such as museums or the water trail to the Knesebeck Mine (World Heritage Site Upper Harz Water Management) with its water gallery and the hydro compressor tower, which is visible from afar. Water treads with clear mountain water ensure cooling and blood circulation. Another highlight is the WeltWald Harz. As an arboretum, it offers a variety of trees from four continents, and it is particularly colorful in spring and autumn.

The start is at the Hübichenstein towards Teufelstal. Below the federal road is the Iberg settlement on the right. The path continues below the Iberg. It goes past a former small mine, which is now used for respiratory patients. Goes straight to the HöhlenErlebnisZentrum with the Iberger stalactite cave. However, the circular path swings to the right before the Märchental valley and leads to the Rohland via the Paradiesweg. Shortly before the "Waldwinkel" the route meets the water trail (signs explain the underground hydropower). At Eichhörnchenplatz, turn right to the mining museum, the path continues to the left to Laubhütte. Before the ascent to the Gittelder Berg, there is the possibility of treading water above in the Eichelbach valley. Along the Grüne Tanne, it finally turns left towards Kelchtal and back to the starting point.
