Hiking

The Großer Gegenstein was made accessible in 1863 by a staircase carved into the stone. A summit cross was erected in honor of Duke Alexander Carl von Anhalt-Bernburg, who died in the same year.

Hiking

From the summit cross you have a very nice view of the Harz foothills with the Ballenstedt airfield. You can also watch the take-offs and landings very well.
