Stamp point 17 / Trudenstein

The Trudenstein granite cliff (736 m above sea level) lies between Drei-Annen-Hohne and Schierke.

The name is derived from “Trute”, which means witch or sor­cer­ess. As ear­ly as July 1, 1894, the Harzk­lub made the boul­der acces­si­ble via iron lad­ders and thus made the won­der­ful view of the Harz moun­tains possible. 

The best start­ing points for a hike to the Tru­den­stein are from Schierke via the Que­sen­bank or from Drei Annen Hohne via the Glashüt­ten­weg. You can also con­tin­ue the hike to Ahren­sklint HWN 13 and on to Gel­ben Brink HWN 22 on Brockenstraße.
