The huge network of Hiking trails in the Harz mountains is become after years of working small – but this is no disadvantage for the tourists, the people in charge. You are convinced of the contrary.
Goslar, Germany (dpa) – Three years after the start of the Work, the optimization of the Hiking trails network is completed in the lower Saxony West of the Harz mountains.
hikers and tourists, according to the district of Goslar is now signposted routes with a total length of around 3000 km. At the same time, many, little, attractive, and hardly committed lines were shut down. “The network of paths have been shortened, has gained significantly in quality,” said Rainer Simply from the district of Goslar, has coordinated the work of the project.
The main work of the EU-funded enhancement programme had been made from the resin of the club, said Simply. The Hiking, the home and nature conservation Association, to take care of for decades as a volunteer to the care and sign-posting of Hiking trails in the Harz mountains, had examined the existing channels.
hundreds of members of the branch associations had taken them, according to a spokeswoman for the points of attendance, quality, nature, landmarks, grid options and the competing use by horse riders or mountain bikers under the magnifying glass. As a result, hardly-used trails had been taken with little attractive routes from the network. To the remaining Due to around 2300 new note were attached to the panels.
“The network of Hiking trails is one of the most important deals for us,” said the managing Director of the Harz tourism Association (HTV), Carola Schmidt. “We are therefore very happy that the optimization is now complete.” That way ceased to exist, is not a Problem, said Schmidt, on the contrary, “in Many cases there were parallel routes, which were so rarely used that they are always overgrown.” Now the most attractive routes were chosen, on which you run the best and the most could see.
The now worked-out routes should also serve as a basis for the creation of new resin-wall cards, said project coordinator Simply. The data had already been to the official lower Saxony surveying and mapping sent. The publishers could access it and update maps.
In the two other resin-riparian countries, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia efforts to improve the Hiking routes, were also currently HTV-managing Director, Schmidt said. You just have to hope for the whole of the means of the optimized ways of the mountains, power available.
