Harzer Hexenbesen Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, it won't be finished as of October 2025. The observation tower looks massive, and the view from the top should be fantastic. It looks like you'll have to buy a ticket to climb the tower. You can also drive there and leave your car in the parking lot next to it. You can also get there by bike or on foot.

Stierberg Pond (HWN 048)

Highlight • Lake

The Stierbergsteich is a beautiful, quiet place in the middle of the forest. It is a must on a tour from Sophienhof! Stamp number 48 of the Harz hiking pin is located in the refuge.

Sophienhof Goat Alm (HWN 097)

Highlight • Restaurant

The Ziegenalm in Sophienhof is the destination and starting point for many hikes. Here children can get in touch with the cattle. You can also see wild. Sometimes the shaggy dogs stray across the grounds and pick up their pats from the children. For the grown-ups there is a farm shop with all conceivable products such as cheese, meat and sausage, goat ice cream, schnapps and skins.
