The Stierbergsteich is a beautiful, quiet place in the middle of the forest. It is a must on a tour from Sophienhof! Stamp number 48 of the Harz hiking pin is located in the refuge.

The Göpel shaft system, unique in Europe, is the heart of the “Historic Lehesten Slate Mining” monument ensemble and the trademark of the slate park. The Göpel shaft system was built around 1850, five years after the open-cast mine opened. On the north-west edge of the now closed and flooded roofing slate open-cast mine, the Göpel shaft was used to lift mined slate rock and thus stabilize the production flow. The rock was transported to the adjacent double-slitting hut and processed.

Mountain meadows should not be mowed before mid-June for the first time in the year. The Ebertswiese is now in all its glory at the end of May, as a refuge for colours, plants and animals. At its edge the mountain lake in a former quarry. Some Indian and Wild West feelings come up when you see it. Tip: take the path behind the lake to get a great view from above.

In this idyllic place you can experience the nature and the history of the "blue slate". The unique Göpelschacht installation is the heart of the area. During a tour, you can see the historic machine still in operation at its original location!

Nice rest area at Stierbergteich HWN 48, not 47. The stamp HWN47 is not far from the Oberharzerblick and the HWN 50Walzenhütte. But with so many stamps you can get confused. Still nice.

The dam of the Neustadt Dam was built between 1904 and 1905. The dam supplies drinking water to the city and parts of the Nordhausen district. Swimming and recreational sports in the reservoir are prohibited. The dam may not be entered either. Hike around the lake is possible.

The Ebertswiese is famous for its abundance of flowers and has been a nature reserve since 1936. Depending on the season, you can experience the magnificent play of colors in wildflowers that have already completely disappeared elsewhere. In May, the entire area shines in the sunny yellow of globeflowers and marsh marigolds. In June the meadow appears in the pink veil of the knotweed. Orchid species such as orchid and lady's slipper are represented, as are the healing arnica, cotton grass and devil's claw. The species population has been superbly preserved through mowing and other biotope maintenance measures by nature conservationists. Source: https://www.ebertswiese.de/
