Liebesbank trail

The Liebesbank trail is a walking route through the Harz mountains near Goslar featuring decorated benches and artistic installations along the way. The path winds through forests and meadows, connecting different rest points where visitors can sit and look out over the landscape.

The trail was developed in an area that once served as a winter sports destination with ski lifts and sledding runs. Over time, the region shifted focus from winter activities to year-round hiking and outdoor recreation.

The trail takes its name from the love benches scattered throughout, inviting couples and hikers to pause and take in the surroundings. Each bench offers a different vantage point and creates a moment for reflection on the journey.

The trail is accessible year-round and clearly marked with signs and route indicators. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes, especially in wet or cold seasons, as some sections can be steep or uneven.

The benches along the route were designed by various artists and tell stories about the region through their different styles. Some feature unusual shapes or materials, turning the walk into a subtle art discovery experience.
