Luchsstein (HWN 103)

Here in 1818 the last lynx of the Harz was shot. Since the year 2000 the lynxes are back in the Harz after a settlement project. 😉👍

Unbelievable, but at this point in the 19th century the last lynx in the Harz was hunted and killed for 11 days. Luckily we are a little smarter today and he is back; -D

Stamp point of the Harzer hiking nobility 103. Otherwise a nice place for a little rest. There are benches from which you can see a bit into the "valley", the lynx stone and a lynx carved out of wood. Is very nice!

Nice stamping point directly on a forest highway 🙄.
This is where the last Lux living in the Harz Mountains at the time was shot.
Fortunately there are some again

The lynx belongs in the Harz, the place reminds us of it. 👍

The lynx belongs in the Harz, and the monument reminds us of it

The lynx can be viewed as an exhibit in the Harz Museum in Wernigerode.

Beautiful circular walk. At the lynx stone the last lynx was shot.

Here is reported about the hunt for the last lynx in the Harz. That a rethinking is possible is also proved on the Luchstour near Bad Harzburg.

The new place stamp office 103 is well chosen.

A piece of resin history and a good rest stop.

Beautiful wood carvings in the form of a lynx.

Worth a trip even in winter

Memorial stone to the last lynx shot in the Harz Mountains.

In 1818 the last lynx in the Harz was shot here. He is back 200 years later. :-)

Here in this place with historical significance, you can take a break.

Pure history and narrative.

How times change. First exterminate and then relocate. Luckily

Since I love the lynx very much, that was of course a great stamping point for me.

Maybe someday at this point a photo of a lynx on the lynx stone will succeed

Beautiful stamp office with an important and moving history!

Thankfully, this bug has been corrected. The lynx is back

Rest area with historical background. Stamp office of the Harzer hiking nobility.

Here you can find benches, cairns, a wooden statue of a lynx and the HWN stamp office 103.
