View of Wernigerode Castle from the Agnesberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nowhere does one have a more beautiful view of Wernigerode Castle than from Agnesberg. It can be reached in a short hike from the pretty little Harz town and is a popular destination, especially at sunset. It has a height of 395 meters. In addition, you can descend from here to the castle in a few minutes.

Wernigerode Town Hall

Highlight • Historical Site

On the south side of the market square is the pretty town hall of Wernigerode. Around 1420, Count Heinrich built the town hall as a playhouse with a wine cellar. 20 years later he donated the building to the city. After another eventful history and several comprehensive renovations and extensions to the building, the town hall is now often used by couples as a wedding venue.

April 1, 2025,Agnesberg (HWN 31) – Scharfenstein (HWN 34) - Christianental (HWN35) - Armeleuteberg (HWN 35) Runde von Wernigerode incl. Altstadt

A great tour. Wernigerode's old town is amazing, with its half-timbered houses, castle, pleasure garden, and much more. The hike is varied and offers great views of Wernigerode and the castle. However, parking is very expensive. One day or one hike isn't enough to explore everything.

Unfortunately, the stamping point HWN 31 is no longer there. It looks like it was stolen, as the mount was sawed off and no information about its relocation was left behind. A real shame.

June 3, 2024,Harz - Scharfenstein - Kaiserturm - Armeleuteberg - Schloss 🏰 Wernigerode

Actually, for a change, no rain today ☔️
So off we go and get out... Wernigerode Castle has been on my to-do list for a long time and was supposed to be today's destination, among other things...
I've already noticed on the last hikes 🥾 that the viewpoints on the cliffs usually only show one object..."Father Brocken." But the tourists …

January 6, 2022,Runde von Wernigerode über Armeleuteberg und Agnesberg

This tour was suggested to us by Komoot. We can highly recommend them. Our highlights were the Kaiserturm with its great view, the wildlife park and the view from the Agnesberg to the castle. The hourly trains at Wernigerode station are ideal for arrival and departure.

April 11, 2025,🐭 👑 Kaiserung, die 3. Scharfenstein HWN 34

Today we didn't go far, because it was Mausi's imperial era.
🥳 🐭👑👑👑
For the third time, we've completed the pass 📖♟️

The weather was gorgeous today, and the Brocken was also visible ⛰️👀
At Scharfenstein (34), Maus got his stamp and then bumped into someone with champagne 🥂
