Parking lot with permanently closed catering

Beautiful bike tour through the southern Harz to the Hufhaus and back

All traffic from Stolberg has to go through here, it is very narrow

It is an absolute highlight

The Sägemühle Inn has been permanently closed since 2025. Unfortunately, it must be said. But it's true. See also: https://www.thueringer-allgemeine.de/regionen/nordhausen/article242107216/Suedharzer-Traditionsgasthaus-vor-der-Schliessung.html

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.

A beautiful hiking area with lots of beautiful nature

Very nice pond with rest area
