The Kiepenfrauen were also called "Harz-Kamel" because in summer and winter they carried the heavy loads for a meager income many kilometers on their backs uphill and downhill.

In addition to the Kiepen women, there was also the donkey as a means of transport to feed the miners in the Harz mountains

Hiking

An attractive memorial was created on the historic ascent in the Harz Mountains. The hikers can take a seat next to a Kiepenfrau and relax with her. Or, when lifting a 40 kg box, you can feel how difficult it is for the energetic women, popularly known as "Harzkamele", to drag.
