(Translated by Google) We looked at the church yesterday. The gentleman from the support association told us the history of the church and the town of Elend with a lot of joy, wit and commitment. The tour was an absolute highlight. Anyone in the Harz should definitely visit. Thank you for the great tour. (Original) Wir haben uns gestern die Kirche angesehen. Der Herr vom Förderverein hat uns mit viel Freude, Witz und Engagement die Geschichte der Kirche und des Ortes Elend erzählt. Die Führung war ein absolutes Highlight. Wer im Harz ist sollte sich einen Besuch unbedingt vornehmen. Vielen Dank für die tolle Führung.
Smallest church made of wood in Germany (60 qm).
Nice little wooden church.
(Translated by Google) Such a great tour of the church and the organ! The Lord's Commitment...insane! I'm completely amazed and look forward to being able to take part in the next event... I'll have to keep an eye on it. The acoustics are so great! Thank you very much!!!! (Original) So eine tolle Führung durch die Kirche und die Orgel! Das Engagement des Herrn….irre! Ich bin völlig geflasht und freue mich, wenn ich auf der nächsten Veranstaltung dabei sein darf….das muss ich schön im Auge behalten. Die Akustik ist nämlich so toll! Dankeschön!!!!
(Translated by Google) Cute little church, nice to look at and great location in the park. It's definitely worth a short walk, even though it was unfortunately closed. (Original) Niedliche kleine Kirche, ist schön anzuschauen und toll gelegen in dem Park. Ist auf jedenfall ein kleiner Spaziergang wert, auch wenn sie leider geschlossen war.
(Translated by Google) If you are near Elend you should take a look at this beautiful church. The pastor who showed and told us a lot was also very personable. My son was even allowed to play the organ. A unique experience. Thank you for the great end to our short trip to the Harz. (Original) Wer in der Nähe von Elend ist sollte sich diese schöne Kirche anschauen. Sehr sympathisch war auch der Pastor der uns vieles gezeigt und erzählt hat. Mein Sohn durfte sogar an der Orgel spielen. Ein einzigartiges Erlebniss . Vielen Dank für den tollen Abschluss von unseren Kurztrip in den Harz.
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Harz! A very enthusiastic volunteer will show you around and after an hour you will know everything. The operation of a church organ is also very nicely explained. You will be asked in advance whether you can play the organ. At the end, a voluntary contribution is requested in the collection box. If you come there spontaneously to make music (singing or playing an instrument), you will receive a nice gift. (Original) Een aanrader voor iedereen die de Harz bezoekt! Een zéér enthousiaste vrijwilliger leidt je rond en na een klein uur weet je alles. Ook de werking van een kerkorgel wordt erg leuk uitgelegd. Van te voren wordt gevraagd of je orgel kunt spelen. Aan het eind wordt een vrijwillige bijdrage gevraagd in de collectebus. Wanneer je daar spontaan muziek komt maken (zingen of instrument), krijg je een leuke attentie.
(Translated by Google) Today we were out and about and looked at Germany's smallest wooden church. How lucky we were because we met Erich Garthe, a church leader from the support association. He told us about the eventful history of the small building that stands in the center of Elend. We can highly recommend a visit to the church and also the great tour. The church is mostly open on Saturdays and Sundays. We would like to say thank you very much for allowing us to take a close look at the church and for the great tour 👍. Kind regards, Marina & Pierre 👋 (Original) Heute waren wir unterwegs und schauten uns Deutschlands kleinste Holzkirche an. Was hatten wir für ein Glück, denn wir trafen Erich Garthe, ein Kirchenführer vom Förderverein. Er erzählte uns von der bewegten Geschichte des kleinen Gebäudes, das im Ortskern von Elend steht. Wir können einen Besuch der Kirche sehr gerne weiter empfehlen und auch die großartige Führung. Die Kirche ist Samstag und Sonntag meist geöffnet. Wir sagen vielen lieben Dank, das wir uns die Kirche so genau ansehen durften und für die super Führung 👍. Liebe Grüße, Marina & Pierre 👋

(Translated by Google) Very nice spot. Absolutely idyllic and magical. It is very easy to hike, even with children. Everyone gets their money's worth if you get involved in the fairytale/legendary a little bit. Simply nature. We hiked from Mandelholz through the valley to Elend. (Original) Sehr schöner Spot. Absolut idyllisch und märchenhaft. Lässt sich sehr gut wandern auch mit Kindern. Alle kommen auf ihre Kosten wenn man sich ein bisschen auf das märchenhafte/sagenumwobene einlässt. Einfach Natur. Sind von Mandelholz durchs Tal nach Elend gewandert.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful hike from Schierke to Elendstal (approx. 2.7 km) goes slightly downhill, the forest floor is cushioned, but sturdy shoes are still recommended. The village is very cute, the collegiate church looks very nice from the outside (you can pick up a stamp there). There was a very nice employee at the tourist information office who gave us directions to the toilets (at the train station). By the way, you can also buy a €0 note here from the Baumann stalactite cave. (Original) Schöne Wanderung von Schierke zum Elendstal (ca. 2,7 km) geht leicht bergab, der Waldboden federt ab, festes Schuhwerk dennoch zu empfehlen. Örtchen sehr süß, Stiftskirche sieht sehr schön von außen aus (dort kann man sich einen Stempel abholen). In der Touristeninfo war eine sehr nette Mitarbeiterin, die uns den Weg zu den Toiletten (am Bahnhof) erklärt hat. Hier kann man übrigens auch einen 0€-Schein erwerben von der Baumann-Tropfsteinhöhle.
(Translated by Google) Top hiking area. Between misery and horror. Only overcrowded on weekends. So it's always best to hike during the week. (Original) Top Wandergebiet. Zwischen Elend und Schioerke. Nur am Wochenende überlaufen. Also immer am besten in der Woche wandern.
(Translated by Google) So beautiful. Exactly what kind of hiking lots of mountains 🏔. I can only recommend it (Original) So wunderschön. Genau was für wandern jede Menge Berge 🏔. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen
(Translated by Google) It was a nice, relaxing bike ride because the road is still closed to traffic, so it was twice as much fun without a stop because kuki is also closed, so there's no traffic. It's a shame (Original) Es war eine schöne erholsame Radtour da ja die Straße immer noch für den Verkehr gesperrt ist so machte es doppelt so viel Spaß ohne Einkehr da kuki auch geschlossen hat es fehlt der Verkehr eigentlich Schade
(Translated by Google) The valley stretches from Schierke to Elend along the cold Bode. Leisurely 3 km hiking trail with no inclines, therefore also suitable for children. Shady and with lots of benches. (Original) Das Tal erstreckt sich von Schierke nach Elend entlang der kalten Bode. Gemütlicher Wanderweg von 3 km ohne Steigung, somit auch für Kinder geeignet. Schattig und mit vielen Sitzbänken.
(Translated by Google) Nice circular hike to the right and left of the Kalten Bode (Original) Schöne Rundwanderung rechts und links der Kalten Bode
(Translated by Google) Yes... I was in misery there for a while I read it (Original) Jo.... ich in Elend eine Zeit Lang dort habe ich Gelept

(Translated by Google) Very great hike to the Schnarcherklippen, perfect especially in autumn. We had great weather and there wasn't much going on. One stone is easily accessible via a somewhat adventurous ladder and is rewarded with a great view. (Original) Sehr tolle Wanderung zu den Schnarcherklippen, perfekt gerade im Herbst. Wir hatten tolles Wetter und viel los war auch nicht. Ein Stein ist über eine etwas abenteuerliche Leiter aber gut begehbar und belohnt mit einer tollen Aussicht.
(Translated by Google) Very nice little hike from Schierke… past the Mausklippen to the Schnacherklippen! When the wind is strong you can hear the cliffs snoring, which is where the name comes from! From above you have a beautiful view over Schierke, the Wurmberg and Brocken. (Original) Sehr nette kleine Wanderung von Schierke aus… an den Mäuseklippen vorbei zu den Schnacherklippen! Bei starken Wind hört man die Klippen schnarchen, woher auch der Name stammt! Von oben hat man einen schönen Blick über Schierke, auf den Wurmberg und Brocken.
(Translated by Google) Simply MEGA 😍 for anyone who loves climbing in nature. There are hooks/eyes for climbers with ropes but also the steel stairs to enjoy the amazing view. However, caution is advised when it is wet! (Original) Einfach MEGA 😍 für jeden der es liebt in der Natur etwas zu klettern. Haken/Ösen für Kletterer mit Seil vorhanden aber auch die Stahltreppe um die wahnsinns Aussicht zu genießen. Vorsicht ist allerdings bei Nässe geboten!
(Translated by Google) Very steep stairs, but great view (Original) Sehr steile Treppen, aber super Aussicht
(Translated by Google) A beautiful hiking destination with views and a bit of history. Definitely worth the visit. (Original) Wunderschönes Wanderziel mit Ausblick und ein wenig Geschichte. Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.
(Translated by Google) Not far from Barenberg, you can combine things really well. (Original) Unweit vom Barenberg, kann man super kombinieren.
(Translated by Google) Very nice hiking destination. (Original) Sehr schönes Wanderziel.
