Diabase Quarry Circular Trail (Wolfshagen)

Highlight • Trail

I particularly liked this piece of hiking trail. The young trees, the narrow path and a steep descent towards the end make my hiker's heart beat faster. The last vantage …

After the hike in the Czech Republic ( ) I'm back in the Harz. Today with a new round to the Altarklippe. Here the path to the stump oak was worth it at the beginning. Very impressive, how a large oak has grown here, which essentially only stands on the thin bark.
The view from the Altarklippe was very …

May 15, 2026,Wolfshagen: Altarklippen, (HWN 171) und Diabassteinbruch (HWN 109)

Today we had weather luck!🤩
Or was it the Harz witch, who was benevolent towards me?
In any case, the wet blessing from above came down somewhere else.😁
A beautiful round trip from the Waldfreibad on natural paths and wide forest roads to the Altarklippen, where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Oker reservoir, Wolfshagen and the distance. …

June 19, 2022,HWN 109 & HWN 171: Heimberg (Spur der Steine) und Altarklippe - Runde von Wolfshagen im Harz

On a tour in the Harz Mountains to collect stamps: In Wolfshagen, first drive to a small hiking car park near the diabase quarry as a starting point, from which the "Trail of Stones" theme trail can be reached. This leads through the area of the renatured quarry on the Heimberg and offers many interesting information boards, sculptures and several …

April 28, 2023,Spur der Steine, Wolfshäger Hexen mit Altarklippen HWN 109,171🍀

Little break in the Harz Mountains.
The Trail of the Stones is a very informative trail. The highlight was definitely the Grand Canyon of the Harz Mountains.
Since the Walpurgis Night is imminent, there was still the Wolfshäger witch spawn.
The altar cliffs should still be fully motivated.
But these demanded quite a bit of altitude from us.
The view …

June 11, 2024,HWN 109, 171 & Schäderpavillon Wolfshagen

The relaxed category was planned... well, it was, apart from one climb 😅

Parked in Wolfshagen and headed straight for the Schäderpavillion, a former stamping point.

And then we slowly but surely went up...it was clear that we were going up the mountain, but what came shortly before the HWN 171 - Altarklippen was in the "challenging" category...but the view …

I am very sensible with the 🚙 to Wolfshagen. I stood alone in the parking lot and started to put on my shifts, but it was really bitterly cold 🥶🥶🥶. Well packed, we went to Heimberg. Really awesome and the snow glittered in the sun. Once around the mountain and through Wolfshagen, my feet carried me to the altar …

March 5, 2025,Wolfshagen im Harz mit Diabas Steinbruch HWN 109 + 171

We passed the dog park and went along the Sommerbergweg to the Altarklippe... a gigantic view greeted us in t-shirt-worthy weather. Then we went in a curve to the southeast around Wolfshagen and straight through the very cute little village. On the other side of the village we followed the tracks of the stones around the disused diabase quarry. A …
