A journey into the past.

The book­let accom­pa­ny­ing the Harz­er Wan­der­nadel — Harz­er Geschicht­sorte fea­tures 32 spe­cial stamp points. On a spe­cial kind of his­tor­i­cal trail, you will dis­cov­er well-pre­served archi­tec­tur­al mon­u­ments on your jour­ney into the past. Their for­ti­fied tow­ers and dun­geons, ban­quet­ing halls and trea­sure cham­bers still bring to life the impor­tant days of the High Mid­dle Ages, region­al rul­ing dynas­ties and their deeds. The book­let is avail­able at all tourist infor­ma­tion offices, at the Harz­er Wan­der­nadel ser­vice office or in our online store. 

As a reward, the hik­er receives the high-qual­i­ty Hein­rich pin in copper.
