Schöneburg Shelter and Bodetal View (HWN 063)

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the most ingenious views of the Bodetal awaits you at the Schöneburg refuge. High above Altenbrak, the view extends far east into the valley. You can reach the refuge from Altenbrak from the fork of the Hexen-Stieg, from the riding stables at the dam or from the Stemberghaus. The climb from Altenbrak is the most difficult approach. There is also a stamp of the Harz hiking pin here as a reward.

View of the Wendefurth Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the Wendefurth dam, you can expect not only the view from the stamping point of the Harzer hiking nobility, but also the possibility of wall running, which is offered here, as well as boat rental. Food and drink are also possible. Below the wall are exhibits of turbine technology. The Harzer-Hexen-Stieg leads over the dam and goes a few hundred meters further into the famous Bodetal. There are parking spaces at the entrance to the dam.

Stemberghaus Charcoal Works (HWN 60)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A charcoal burner museum, an inn and a stamp office for the Harz hiking nobility await you here. If you've been wondering how the charcoal that grills your steak through is produced, you'll find out here. In addition to real charcoal, liquid charcoal is also available in the shop. Does it burn just as well as the real one? There is a parking lot on the premises.
