The Lochstein is located at the Oberer Schalker Graben between Clausthal-Zellerfeld and the settlement of Festenburg, which belongs to Schulenberg. Perforated stones were common boundary stones in mining, which indicated above ground how far underground mining was allowed. There are still several of them in the Harz Mountains. At the Lochstein, which is at an altitude of 610 meters, there is also the stamping point 126 - Lochstein of the Harzer hiking nobility.
