Hohnstein Castle Ruins (HWN 98)

Highlight • Castle

The castle ruins can be hiked quickly and easily from Neustadt. It is said to have been built around 1120 and offers an impressive backdrop. It can be visited at any time and an iron staircase leads to the ruined tower, from which you have a wonderful view. There is a very good restaurant just below the castle ruins. If you want to see even more, you should continue to Poppenberg.

Stolberg Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

The town hall from 1454 is an architectural curiosity because it has no staircase. Access to the upper floors is only possible via an external staircase, which also leads up to the late Gothic St. Martini Church.

View of Stolberg from the Lutherbuche

Highlight • Viewpoint

The small town of Stolberg is by far one of the most beautiful historical towns in the Harz Mountains. The place is beautifully at your feet from the Luther beech. The best thing to do afterwards is to walk down the Himmelsleiter and at the other end of the village up the Bandweg again, so you can see the beautiful village from all sides. Don't forget to visit the castle!

Felsentor Porphyry Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Striking rock formations made of porphyrite. The rocks narrow a wide valley like a gate to a narrow passage. Impressive to look at!
