3rd Harzer Hunde-Tage in Hahnenklee-Bockswiese from May 18th to 24th, 2026 — a week for dogs and dog owners with seminars, guided hikes, and a dog fair
Hahnenklee-Bockswiese has established itself as a dog-friendly destination in the Weser Uplands in recent years. Many hotels and guesthouses explicitly welcome dogs, and the surrounding hiking and mountain landscape offers ideal conditions for extensive dog walks. The Harzer Hunde-Tage build on this positioning and create a specialized event that attracts dog lovers from all over northern Germany.
With its 3rd edition in 2026, the event is establishing itself as a permanent fixture in the Hahnenklee event calendar. The tourist board has continuously developed the program over the first few years and now offers a wide range of activities that appeal to both beginners and experienced dog owners.
The event spans seven days — Monday, May 18th to Sunday, May 24th, 2026. Various program items are spread throughout the week: seminars on specific topics, lectures by experts, guided hikes of varying lengths and difficulty levels, dog training sessions, and of course, shared time with one's own dog.
The highlight of the week is the 'Rund um den Hund' (Around the Dog) fair on Saturday and Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm. Exhibitors present dog supplies, food, toys, accessories, and fashion. Dog trainers and behavior counselors are available for consultations. Veterinarians and animal health practitioners provide information on health topics. Dog clothing, collars, harnesses, leashes, dog carriers, and much more can be found at the fair.
Guided hikes are one of the most attractive program elements. Experienced hiking guides lead dog hikes of varying lengths — from short walks for puppies and seniors to longer tours for active dogs. The hikes lead through the mountain forest around the Bocksberg and provide dog owners with valuable tips for hiking with their own dog.
Participation in most program items requires prior registration, as spaces are limited. Pre-registration is recommended, especially for seminars and hikes, to secure your spot.
The 2026 edition builds on the experiences of the first two editions. Dog owners from all over northern Germany are expected in Hahnenklee, and the program offers both shared experiences and in-depth knowledge transfer.
The 'Rund um den Hund' (Around the Dog) fair on May 23rd and 24th, 2026, from 11 am to 5 pm daily, is the crowd-puller of the week. Exhibitors, trainers, veterinarians, and dog supply vendors gather in one place.
