Dreiherrenstein (Harzer Wandernadel stamp location 94)

View of Neustadt Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

When looking at the dam, the two towers are particularly striking. They give the dam a distinctive appearance compared to the other dams in the Harz. For me, it is the most beautiful dam in the Harz.

4. Emperor hike.
The time has come, the 222nd stamp is in the stamp book. 2 months ago it was clear that the Ebersburg should be the coronation site. A beautiful place at any time of the year, which impressed me very much on my first visit. The Hohnstein castle ruins (98) and the Neustadt dam (218) were the start …

I can't help it with the shape of the hike on the map - honestly. But it's funny :-)
The first destination was the nearest location of a Facebook group bench. Maybe I've found the right place. We'll see when it's inaugurated. It's supposed to be a nice view of Neustadt/Harz.
Then up to the castle - one of the …

The tour around Neustadt.
You can park for free in Neustadt at the fire station.
I tracked it and planned the tour with Komoot, but the navigation was done with a sketch and hiking map.

August 17, 2025,Neustädter Runde

Start in Neustadt from the hikers' car park to the Harz Steam Locomotive stamp station. Back to and through the still rather sleepy Neustadt. Past the Gondola Pond and up to the Hohnstein Castle ruins. The stamp is right in front of the inn. Then I made the mistake of leaving the wide main path to follow a narrow path. …
