The Pioneer Cliff is a rocky cliff near Alexisbad with a view of the Selke Valley. It is located on the Selketalstieg a few dozen meters north of the pioneer tunnel. There is a bench on the cliff that offers the opportunity for a short break. The path then continues towards Köthener Hütte and Mägdesprung. Source: https://www.harzlife.de/bilder/pionierklippe.html

The Pioneer Tunnel is a stop on the Selketalstieg between Alexisbad and Mägdesprung and is located on the east side of the picturesque Selke Valley. This artificial, around 10 meters long and relatively low passage was driven through the rock in May 1900 within a few days. The hiking trail leads through here. There is no alternative route over or around the rock, so if you don't want to turn back you have to squeeze through the narrow tunnel. On the south side of the tunnel you have a beautiful view of the Selke Valley and the surrounding mountains. Source: https://www.harzlife.de/bilder/pioniertunnel.html

One of the numerous cliffs in the Selketal with a beautiful view.

Nice place to rest with a great view

Lots of explanations from the mining era.

Great view of the valley

You will find the stamping point 194 Hellergrund on the mining educational trail, there is a lot of interesting information to be found on the individual panels, and from here it is not far to the pear tree pond

Great highlight on the pioneer trail up to the Köthener Hütte, it's worth it! If you pay attention, you can discover some of the names of the pioneers in the stone.
