    Hiking

    On the Harzburg, a former imperial castle of Heinrich IV., In the immediate vicinity of the Canossa column, there is the stamping point of the Harz hiking pin, several small sights (including a museum building, various foundations and reconstructions) and a restaurant that will be restricted in August 2020 can be found here. There is a treetop lift in front of the castle, with which you can descend into the valley. There is a large number of visitors here!
    Entry to the castle is free and possible from different sides.

    Hiking

    The impressive column was erected here 800 years after Henry IV's pilgrimage to Canossa. Fantastic view!
