    Stöberhai this mountain peak is the highest mountain in the southern Harz with approx. 720 m elevation gain.There is a hut for a break and you have a great view of the Harz mountains and can see the extent of forest extinction from here particularly impressively. The stamp with number 159 of the Harzer hiking pin is here, the box is in the hut.

      The Stöberhai near Wieda
      The Stöberhai is the highest mountain in the southern Harz at 720 m. The origin of this regionally unusual name is not clearly established. It is assumed that a charcoal burner named Stöber had his charcoal place there, which was known in the Harz as a shark.
      When the narrow-gauge railway line from Braunlage to Walkenried was built in 1899, a stop was built at the Stöberhai. The idea behind this station in the middle of the forest was to boost excursion traffic to the hotel. In 1963, this line was closed due to uneconomical use, probably one of the reasons for the hotel's closure.
      The old station building, however, became the popular excursion restaurant "Bahnhof Stöberhai". The restaurant, located on the Harzer Baudenstieg, is known for its game dishes. The game feeding attached to the restaurant has been staged every evening since the 1950s and can be observed from the dining room on the opposite slope of the Weinglastal.
      But in addition to tourism, the Stöberhai became particularly well-known during the Cold War from 1967 onwards for its military surveillance towers. The radio interception system was used to listen in on military radio traffic in the GDR. The systems are the counterpart to the station on the Brocken operated by the Ministry for State Security of the GDR and the Soviet Union.

        After climbing the mountain in a sweaty sweat, you will be rewarded with a beautiful view. The hut and some benches invite you to rest. And there is also a stamp point with the number 159 of the Harz hiking pin!
