Hike to the viewpoint Schornsteinberg (HWN 89)

Our hike starts at the parking lot of the outdoor pool "Bodeperle" in the cave village of Rübeland, which we pass on the right to leave the parking lot heading towards the rock formation.

A small, narrow path leads us behind a house to the Schornsteinberg. After about 300 m, we reach the Schornsteinberg via an ascent of about 80 metres in altitude, rewarding us with a fantastic view of Rübeland.

At Schornsteinberg stands stamp point 89 of the Harzer Wandernadel. The name of the mountain comes from the fact that the approximately 6 m high chimney of the carbonization plant used to be here.

Continuing on the circular route "Blauer See" towards the Baumann Cave of the dripstone caves Rübeland. On the way to the Baumann Cave, one encounters the old exit of the cave. On the hiking trail from Schornsteinberg towards the cave, there is a nice view of the Upper Harz and the surrounding meadow landscape.

At the end of the hike, not only the "Baumann Cave" but also the "Hermann Cave" invite you to guided tours.

It is recommended to hike the route also in the opposite direction.

Not suitable for strollers or the like. We recommend hiking with a child carrier backpack.

The ascent from the outdoor pool to the Schornsteinberg is steep and only a "footpath". Hold your children firmly.

Sturdy footwear and rain gear are recommended. Don't forget your Harzer Wandernadel stamp booklet and the camera.

On this circular route you have the opportunity to collect one of the coveted stamps of the Harzer Wandernadel.
