The difficult climb to Achtermannshöhe worth it - not only because of the stamp :)

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.

Achtermannshöhe Shelter (Harzer Wandernadel Stamp Point 12)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

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.

Source Area of the Große Bode

Highlight • Natural

A raised bog that appears to still be intact collects water that flows towards Braunlage as the Great Bode. North of Braunlage it joins the Little Bode to form the Warm Bode. This flows to Königshütte and joins the Cold Bode there. As the Bode, the spring water from the Harz flows to Nienburg and from there into the Saale and further to the sea.
You walk along it and have no idea what journey the spring water is about to take. Simply fantastic!

Root Path and Boardwalk in Harz National Park

Highlight • Trail

Here you go between the plank paths over a beautiful root path and large boulders. A very varied and beautiful path. A small climbing adventure for children.
You should have a sure footing, especially when it is wet.
