Stamp point 13 / Ahrensklint

The Ahrentsklint (822 m above sea level) is located above Schierke on the Glashüttenweg.

From the cliff, you have an impres­si­ve pan­o­r­amic view of the Bro­cken, the Wurm­berg, the Leis­ten­klip­pen and Oberschierke.

Under the name „Arne­klint“ (eagle rock), the Ahr­ents­klint was the oldest name for a forestry site in the Schierk regi­on. Befo­re 1411, it belon­ged to the Wer­ni­ge­ro­de community. 

On 28.01.1411, the Count of Stol­berg Wer­ni­ge­ro­de acqui­red it to expand his forest and hun­ting grounds. From then on, the Ahrenst­klint belon­ged to the coun­t’s forest and beca­me the venue for repre­sen­ta­ti­ve socie­ty hunts of the feu­dal Harz counts. 

Schier­ke or Drei Annen Hoh­ne are sui­ta­ble start­ing points for a hike to Ahren­s­klint via Tru­den­stein HWN 17.
