    A shelter located in the forest transition with a view of the Cross of the German East. Newly emerging pioneer birch forests flank the meandering hiking trail to Bad Harzburg or to the Rabenklippe.

    Our shelters in the Harz National Park are usually located in places worth seeing and are therefore popular hiking destinations. They serve as a short-term rest and break option and as protection in the event of bad weather. Overnight stays are only permitted in an emergency. In the interest of everyone, whether human or animal, our shelters must be kept clean.

      The shelter at the Uhlenklippe offers a place to rest.

            The Cross of the German East. A great point with lots of information. Also invites you to take a break

              Refuge with the HWN stamp box, a must for stamp hunters. I just think it's really sad that the stamp boxes are being smeared 😔

                Attention, the stamp office is in a hut near the cross, we almost walked past it.

                  Recommended, part of the destroyed and rotten old wooden cross is still there.

                      The stamping point is not exactly at the cross, but about 50m (to the left) in a shelter. Otherwise a very beautiful place with history. Walk around the cross and between it. It's worth seeing.

                          Refuge near the Eastern German Cross. The corresponding HWN stamp can be found inside!
