The "Dreieckiger Pfahl" shelter with the Harz hiking badge stamp is located near a stone border marker that used to separate the Kingdom of Hanover and the Duchy of Brunswick. 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. https://www.nationalpark-harz.de/de/natur-erleben/verhalten-im-nationalpark/ The Harz National Park wishes you lots of fun in nature

HWN stamp office ♟️ Nice rest point with a refuge. Nice photo point with a waterfall 📸🌊

The Förster-Ludewig-Platz is a very nice rest area and is located on the Dammgraben between Altenau and the Torfhaus. The rest area was designed very attractively with a seating area and the Schachtkopf hut. A footbridge takes you to another small rest area via a settling basin in the dam ditch, which frees the wild water coming from the Nabental waterfall from its flood of sediment. For fans of the Harz hiking nobility, stamp 133 can be obtained here

Ideal again for a break on the way to the Brocken, when the benches look out of the snow you can sit down. Stamp office HWN

The refuge invites you to take a break.

Still a nice spot, but unfortunately now also without spruce trees😒

Above the former "Free Mining Town of Altenau", the "Altenau" stream flows into the Dammgraben, about 600 m from the point where the "Kleine Oker" crosses the Dammgraben. Here, directly on the Harzer Hexenstieg, the stamping point is located at a rest area next to a water house. The Dammgraben continues its course via the Silberbrunnen, the tributaries of the Kleine Oker, the Große Oker, the Gerlachsbach, the Eisenquelle, the Große Kolk and the Morgenbrodtsthaler Graben to the Sperberhaier Damm. The shortest access route begins at the small parking lot on the right-hand side of the road from Torfhaus to Altenau. From there, cross the road and follow the path along the romantic Dammgraben to the stamping point. It is recommended to continue the hike along the Dammgraben to the Sperberhaier Dammhaus. You can also go back along the Dammgraben, cross the street and follow the Dammgraben to the “Förster-Ludewig-Platz” HWN 133. The two stamp stations on this section of the Dammgraben are particularly suitable for families with small children but also for seniors with physical disabilities.

The edging of the little Oker looks different every season of the year. Doesn't stand in the forest long either. The spruce trees have already thrown off their needles.
