Loop
Popular loop to the highest point in Hamburg.
The idyllic route leads through the forest landscape of the Harburg mountains. For northern Germany, which is rather flat, the steep climbs come as a surprise. At 116 m, the Hasselbrack is the highest mountain in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. Since the way to Hasselbrack is not signposted (because the rare Tawny Owl breeds there.), it is advisable to use a smartphone to navigate (or to download the map beforehand).
Highlights:
- Moisburg stone
- Varied natural landscape
- Local flora and fauna
