Come spend a weekend surrounded by nature! We’ll hike through the beautiful Bodetal, visit the Roßtrappe, and explore the Hexentanzplatz. Along the way, we’ll spot local wildlife, check out plants, and soak up some amazing views. Feeling adventurous? You can even try the summer toboggan run at Hexentanzplatz. This is your chance to discover the Harz, take a break from everyday life, and enjoy a few days outdoors.

Our acommodation: Forsthaus Eggerode

We’ll be staying in four cozy group houses (more information on the houses here), with space for about 20 people in total. We’ll decide together who sleeps where. If you’re coming with a small group (up to 6 people) and want to stay together, you can let us know when you register. Each house has:

  • Dorm-style bedrooms: Ground floor with 4 beds, upstairs with 2 beds
  • Living kitchen: comfy seating and fully equipped kitchen for self-catering
  • Shower & toilet in the house

We’ll take care of shopping, cooking, and meals ourselves in small house teams :)

  • Group travel: Meet at 13:50 in Magdeburg, train RE11 departs 14:08 to Thale
  • Independent travel: Meet at 15:45 at Thale train station

Leaving:

  • Sunday 13:15 from Thale train station, arriving in Magdeburg around 14:47
