    Tips

    Mountain biking

    The Achtermannshöhe is the starting point for several different technical trails. The trail to the north is fun, the one to the south is challenging. But before you “throw yourself down” the trails, you can also climb the last few meters to the summit and enjoy the view. The bare, rocky summit offers a good all-round view. At the foot of the final ascent there is also a refuge and the stamp point 12 / Achtermannshöhe of the Harzer hiking pin.

    Hiking

    This shelter is located just before the summit of the third highest mountain in Lower Saxony with stamp point 12 of the Harz hiking badge.

    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.

    A specially shaped spruce could be admired here until the 1990s. Unfortunately, this "camel spruce" has now rotted away.
