  • Spectacular white sandstone caves in the forest under the castle ruins Regenstein, a worthwhile destination. The big caves and the white sand seem like a fairy tale.

  • Unique landscape. Caves in white sandstone. Some are walkable, some are not. 😀

  • Beautiful place. When you step out of the pine forest and suddenly find yourself on the edge of a rock you are completely overwhelmed.

  • If you want to have a little holiday feeling, the sand caves are in good hands. The sandy paths are a little challenge for all cyclists and mountain bikers. HWN 81 has a stamp for hikers.

  • The sandstone caves are just great, there is so much to discover. It can be very crowded here on weekends and public holidays. The HWN stamp office can be found in the northern area.

  • It is believed that there was a Germanic Thingplatz there in protohistoric times. The very fine quartz sand mined here was formerly used as scouring sand and as sand for cleaning floorboards.

  • The sand caves in the army are located northeast below the castle ruins and fortress Regenstein.

    The "Heers" is a large forest mainly consisting of pine trees between Blankenburg and Halberstadt. This area was named after the, in former times significant army road, which runs through the forest.

    The sand caves or like the Blankenburg say "The Sandhutsche" are for every first visitor an impressive discovery in the middle of the pine forest. Already on the way there, the many small rocks and sandy sections, but the "Sandhutsche" with their up to three meters high rocks and the caves carved by people in the stone surpasses all expectations.

    This fascinating landscape was chosen by the ancient Teutons as a meeting place and has lost nothing of its magical appeal.

    The sand caves was chosen by our stamp wanderers in 2009 as the most beautiful stamp spot.

    The starting point for a visit is the parking lot below the castle, easily accessible and signposted from the B 6 n. It makes sense first to hike the Regensteinmühle HWN 82 on the narrow, signposted path on the left hand side of the parking lot. You then reach the sand caves in the army via the army road below the Regensteinmühle on the right. From the sand caves several marked trails lead up to the castle and fortress Regenstein HWN 80.
