Stamping point 220 / Phillippsgruß refuge

The „Phillippsgruß“ pavilion is located northwest of Bad Sachsa on the Katzenstein near the Ravensberg (660 m above sea level).

A regu­lar guest of the cli­ma­tic health resort had the pavi­li­on built on this site as he par­ti­cu­lar­ly app­re­cia­ted the view from this spot, which extends far bey­ond Bad Sach­sa to the Kyffhäuser.

Below the Phil­lipps­gruß is the oldest fairy­ta­le park in Ger­ma­ny, which was built back in 1910. Even today, the park deli­bera­te­ly dis­pen­ses with pla­s­tic figu­res and voice machi­nes and uses natu­ral mate­ri­als to recrea­te various fairy­ta­le scenes. 

The „Harz­fal­ken­hof Bad Sach­sa“, foun­ded in 1964, is loca­ted very clo­se to the Mär­chen­grund. Sin­ce then, the Harz­fal­ken­hof has been invol­ved in bird of prey con­ser­va­ti­on, bree­ding and rese­arch. It is home to around 80 birds of prey, e.g. eagles, vul­tures, fal­cons, owls and other spe­ci­es. The flight demons­tra­ti­ons of fal­cons, eagles and other birds of prey are uni­que, but the bree­ding suc­cess of the birds, which are kept in pairs in ani­mal-fri­end­ly avi­a­ries, is also impressive 

The qui­ckest access to the Phil­lipps­gruß is from Bad Sach­sa via the Vital­park and the Ede-Bal­ler-Weg. A char­ming hiking trail leads direct­ly from the sum­mit of the Ravens­berg via the Käthe Schul­ken Hut and the Ede Bal­ler Trail to the Phillippsgruß.
