アルター・シュトールベルクでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

ここでは国境石が豊富に見つかり、美しいハイキングコースがそれらに続いています。

Sinkholes are funnel-shaped depressions or hollows in the landscape and can be up to 300 meters deep.

Alternative to the Glockensteine rest area.

A lovely playground 🌞😎 for letting off steam. The children can play while the parents enjoy refreshments in the adjacent beer garden 🍺☕️🍰. Beforehand, you can visit the "Heimkehle Karst Show Cave" or take a short hike. (https://gemeinde-suedharz.de/schauhoehle-heimkehle/) Stamp station 214 of the Harz Hiking Trail 🎒🥾🌞😎 is also not far from the playground. There is ample parking available. Parking costs 50 cents per hour or 4 euros for the whole day.

They say there are 111 steps.

New rest area, nice loop from Himmelgarten.

mega nice playground

The Old Stolberg area consists predominantly of gypsum and anhydrite from the Zechstein. Due to the water solubility of this rock, one of the most beautiful karst landscapes in the southern Harz has emerged. The rock layers of the Old Stolberg are raised above their surroundings and rise over 100 m above the surrounding area. Rainwater sinks into the fissures. It collects in impermeable interlayers. The groundwater level in the area is therefore between 25 and 80 m deep. The Kalkhüttental valley cuts deep into the strata. This creates exposed fissures from which groundwater can escape during periods of high water pressure. This overflow is the Kalkhüttenquelle spring, the only spring in the Old Stolberg area. It only flows during periods of high water pressure and reacts to precipitation with a significant time delay. 500 m downstream lies the Urbachquelle spring, which flows year-round.
