View of the Diabase Quarry at Wolfshagen (HWN 109)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The old diabase quarry at Heimberg near Wolfshagen in the Harz Mountains can look back on more than 100 years of operational history (1885 to 1986). An eye-catcher is the so-called breeding rock, which as a quarry residue made of inferior rock as an inselberg towers over the quarry floor by around 50 meters. A nice example of a successful renaturation of a former industrial plant.

Diabase Quarry Circular Trail (Wolfshagen)

Highlight • Trail

I particularly liked this piece of hiking trail. The young trees, the narrow path and a steep descent towards the end make my hiker's heart beat faster. The last vantage point of the stage lets you look out over the canopy of the forest.

A very short tour with a stamp.

There's easy parking here at the hotel. The outdoor pool is adjacent, so it might be crowded.

Follow the "Trail of Stones" and eventually you'll find the "Heimberg" (HWN 109). And don't miss the diabase quarry. An absolute highlight.
