Best Hikes to Joseph Cross on Großer Auerberg
Tips
The Joseph Cross is a must in the south-eastern Harz. It stands on Josephshöhe and is, so to speak, a piece of Paris in the Harz Mountains. The Joseph Cross is the largest iron double cross in the world, which was built based on the model of the Eiffel Tower in 1896. The 38 meter high steel framework is held together by around 100,000 rivets and weighs 125 tons. You can climb the observation tower for a fee.
The best way to get there is a short hike from the Auerberg car park. If you want to do a longer hike, it is best to start from Stolberg.translated by
