The hiking pin

Do you like hiking or cycling and want to enjoy nature and the mountains on vacation?

Then dis­co­ver the Harz Moun­ta­ins – Ger­many’s nor­t­hern­most low moun­tain ran­ge – and beco­me the Harz Hiking King or even Hiking Emperor. 

Expe­ri­ence rela­xa­ti­on in care­free natu­re and earn your per­so­nal „Harz hiking pin“.

The Harz Mountains are perfect for nature and hiking enthusiasts. 

Hard­ly any other regi­on can boast so many inte­res­t­ing land­scapes and cul­tu­ral forms. The Harz stret­ches across the three fede­ral sta­tes of Lower Sax­o­ny, Sax­o­ny-Anhalt and Thu­rin­gia. The Har­zer Wan­der­na­del stamp book­let, our three-part map set and the infor­ma­ti­on on our web­site will gent­ly gui­de you to the most beau­tiful and exci­ting places in the enti­re Harz region. 

The tours to the indi­vi­du­al stamp points vary in length, dif­fi­cul­ty and alti­tu­de, so that fami­lies with child­ren as well as seni­or citi­zens and ambi­tious hikers can soon pin a Harz hiking pin on themselves.

A par­ti­cu­lar­ly popu­lar award for young and old is the hiking prin­cess and prin­ce. You can earn a badge and a cer­ti­fi­ca­te with just 11 stamps in your hiking pass. 

The stam­ping points of the „Har­zer Wan­der­na­del“ are available for you at a total of 222 inte­res­t­ing places throug­hout the Harz Moun­ta­ins. They are loca­ted near roman­tic forest inns, rustic moun­tain huts and a varie­ty of inte­res­t­ing view­points. Mines, cast­le ruins, natu­ral monu­ments and, of cour­se, the maje­s­tic Bro­cken are also wai­ting for your visit and have a stamp rea­dy for you. 

With the Harz Hiking Need­le, you can hike the enti­re Harz Moun­ta­ins and expe­ri­ence its full ran­ge. You will get to know well-known tou­rist magnets such as the Bro­cken, the Ross­trap­pe in Tha­le or the UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site Ram­mels­berg in Gos­lar, as well as litt­le-known but no less wort­hwhile destinations.
