Stamping point 191 / Laubtalblick

The Laubtal, through which the „Große Uhlenbach“ flows, is located between Friedrichsbrunn and the Uhlenstein forester’s lodge.

Today’s „Fried­richs­brun­nen“ is a land­mark of the vil­la­ge, which cen­tu­ries ago was a popu­lar res­t­ing place for mer­chants, hun­ters, war­ri­ors and mer­ce­na­ries on the old Qued­lin­burg-Nord­hau­sen mili­ta­ry road. In 1754, King Fre­de­rick II stop­ped at the res­t­ing place known at the time as the „Unfaithful Well“ during an inspec­tion tour. 

At the kin­g’s behest, fami­lies sett­led as colo­nists bet­ween 1773 and 1775. The new­ly crea­ted vil­la­ge was given the name Fried­richs­brunn and the well was ren­a­med „Fried­richs­brun­nen“.

The tou­rist deve­lo­p­ment of the tran­quil vil­la­ge of Fried­richs­brunn, which is now a popu­lar vaca­ti­on desti­na­ti­on in the Bode Val­ley, began back in 1884. In the exten­si­ve forests and mea­dows in the area, you can admi­re rare plants such as arni­ca, Tur­k’s cap lily, daph­ne and autumn cro­cus, not for­get­ting the „Troll­blu­men­wie­sen“ natu­ral monument. 

From the hiking par­king lot at the end of the vil­la­ge in the direc­tion of Gün­ters­ber­ge, you hike along sign­pos­ted hiking trails across the Troll­blu­men­wie­se mea­dow and then along the Gro­ßer Uhlen­bach stream to the Laub­tals­blick stam­ping station.
