Hiking
From here there is a magnificent view over the northern part of the Harz. Soon comes the Bismarckklippe, which is also recommended.

Hiking
This is where the Hirtenstieg Trail begins and ends. Therefore, it's a highlight, so simply hike the trail. Make sure you're in good shape!
At the crossroads itself, you can continue the hike in the planned direction, or, as a tip, head straight ahead, coming down the valley from the Brocken, you'll find the ranger station, Stamp Point 2 / Scharfenstein (Ranger Station). From the ranger station, it's signposted, and a short hike leads to Scharfenstein. It's worth it; a breathtaking panoramic view awaits you there!

Hiking
The Hermannsklippe is a granite cliff located on the Hermannstraße section of the Heinrich Heine Hiking Trail below the Brocken summit. It is located 747 meters above sea level and just a few dozen meters before the junction of the aforementioned trail with the Hirtenstieg.
The freely accessible, flat rocky cliff is easy to climb from the trail. It offers a beautiful view to the north of the mountains and forests of the Harz Mountains, as well as far into the northern Harz foothills.
