Stamp point 12 / Achtermannshöhe

The Achtermannshöhe (926 m above sea level) is located northwest of Braunlage and is the third-highest mountain in Lower Saxony and the fourth-highest mountain in the Harz Mountains.

From the sum­mit, you have a beau­ti­ful view of the Harz moun­tains, espe­cial­ly the Brock­en and the Wurm­berg. On a clear day, you can even see the Thuringian For­est with the Inselberg. 

Sign­post­ed hik­ing trails lead from the Königskrug inn and from Oder­brück to Achter­mann. The short­est but also the steep­est and rock­i­est is the “Mil­liar­den­weg”.
