Stamp point 13 / Ahrensklint

The Ahrentsklint (822 m above sea level) is located above Schierke on the Glashüttenweg.

From the cliff, you have an impres­sive panoram­ic view of the Brock­en, the Wurm­berg, the Leis­ten­klip­pen and Oberschierke.

Under the name “Arnek­lint” (eagle rock), the Ahrentsklint was the old­est name for a forestry site in the Schierk region. Before 1411, it belonged to the Wernigerode community. 

On 28.01.1411, the Count of Stol­berg Wernigerode acquired it to expand his for­est and hunt­ing grounds. From then on, the Ahren­stk­lint belonged to the coun­t’s for­est and became the venue for rep­re­sen­ta­tive soci­ety hunts of the feu­dal Harz counts. 

Schierke or Drei Annen Hohne are suit­able start­ing points for a hike to Ahren­sklint via Tru­den­stein HWN 17.
