Hanskühnenburg (HWN 144)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In every season there is an opportunity to rest with hospitality. It is highly recommended here in winter during the week.

Steep climb to Hanskühnenburg

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

The last 600 meters to the Hanskühnenburg are very steep (15%) on a loose surface. The uphill as well as the downhill drive are a challenge.

As soon as one of these signs is reached, you are in the Harz National Park. But this also means that from here on, the national park's rules of conduct apply, e.g. the road sign or the ban on collecting mushrooms.

Großer Knollen lookout tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The highest mountain in the southern Harz is 687.4 meters high and the view from here is great and makes up for the climb. If you still want to crack the 700-meter mark, you can climb the 20-meter-high observation tower, the Knollenturm, for a fee and improve the view a bit. There is a good place to stop for refreshments right on the summit.

Easy to reach stamping point above Bad Lauterberg. A group of seats under trees allows a rest.
