Harzer-Hexen-Stieg Map & Elevation
The main Harzer-Hexen-Stieg trail proceeds from west to east over the Brocken and through Rübeland. The Brockenumgehung option detours from the main trail at Torfhaus, and bypasses the Brocken as it proceeds through Sankt Andreasberg and Braunlage and re-joins the main trail just northwest of Konigshütte. The Southern Option detours from the main trail at Konigshütte and passes through Stadt Hasselfelde before re-joining the main trail at Altenbrak. The Titan RT is a recommended detour to take you over the paid suspension bridge, see the Titan-RT website for costs and other information. I have linked the Titan-RT route to the Southern Option as there is a good hut and views over Altenbrak along the trail.

Data
Data may vary from other sources. Initial GPX track data sourced from en.harzinfo.de 1. This is modified to include start and end public transport stations, personal experience and compatibility with OpenStreetMap tiles. Minimal decimal degree track point coordinates are used to reduce file size. Website maps and GPX file coordinates may have different decimal accuracy to reduce file sizes and load times. GPX files are to 5 decimal points or better than 1.11m accuracy. Elevation is modified with CC BY 4.0 terrain data provided by Sonny at sonny.4lima.de. Elevation gain and loss is calculated by creating a sum of the increase or decrease between each GPX track point. Trail distance takes into account slope between track points. Time in hours is calculated using an average walking speed of 5km/h and takes into account speed changes due to slope.
