Hahnenklee — the dog-friendly mountain resort
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.
3rd edition of a growing tradition
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.
A week of celebration from Monday to Sunday
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.
'Rund um den Hund' Dog Fair on the Weekend
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 in the Weser Uplands
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.
Registration Required
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.
