The Eckersprung is the border between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. It used to be the death strip, today called the Green Belt. Here is a refuge and a rest area. In addition, a stamp office of the Harzer hiking nobility.

Hiking

Before the steeper climb to the Brocken, you can take a short break at the "Eckersprung" shelter with a Harz hiking badge stamp and seating.

Our shelters in the Harz National Park are usually located in places worth seeing and are therefore popular hiking destinations. They serve as a short-term rest and break option and as protection in the event of bad weather. Overnight stays are only permitted in an emergency. In the interest of everyone, whether human or animal, our shelters must be kept clean.
