When you are standing at the top, walk a bit further in the direction of Teufelskanzel – from there you will get a much better view of the Klusfelsen itself and the surrounding sandstone formations. The view is particularly beautiful in the late afternoon, when the warm light highlights the rocks from the forest and Halberstadt becomes slightly visible in the background.

The Medingschanze in the Spiegelsbergen is a unique historical trench system from 1916 and is considered probably the only surviving show and training facility of its kind in Germany. It is particularly impressive that you can see reconstructed trenches and dugouts from the First World War there, which give an impression of trench warfare.

The magnificent Wilhelminian-era building has been shining in new splendor since its reopening in 2010. Mighty bricks on the exterior, beautiful curves on the interior, and a perfect infrastructure that offers travelers and business customers everything they need while on the move: a mobility center with a DB travel center and tourist information, an originally designed waiting area with a Harz information wall, lockers, and a completely barrier-free platform. Traffic improvements such as covered bicycle parking, illuminated car parking spaces, and automatically opening side doors are also among the lovingly redesigned details that make the station one of the most beautiful in Germany.
