オスターオーデのバイクパーク・トップ20

In rainy weather the access from the stone is very spongy because of the moorland

Stamp point 126 of the Harzer Wandernadel (HWN) is located at this point. You have a nice view from there.

A nice walk along the moat.

The Lochstein is located at the Oberer Schalker Graben between Clausthal-Zellerfeld and the settlement of Festenburg, which belongs to Schulenberg. Perforated stones were common boundary stones in mining, which indicated above ground how far underground mining was allowed. There are still several of them in the Harz Mountains. At the Lochstein, which is at an altitude of 610 meters, there is also the stamping point 126 - Lochstein of the Harzer hiking nobility.

When I was here for the last time in 2015, the stamp office was still in the forest. 😔

Since there is a stamp office for the Harzer hiking nobility, you should stop by. Otherwise, the box is pretty lonely in the middle of nowhere along the Schalker Graben

The Lochstein stamp office of the Harzer Wandernadel is located directly on the Oberer Schalker Graben between the settlements of Festenburg and Clausthal-Zellerfeld.

The trail is a lot of fun. As the name suggests, there are many roots. The trail is still easy to ride even for beginners. No big gradients etc. There are a lot of hikers out there. Rather S1 than S2!
