Stamp point 20 / viewing platform on the Barenberg

The viewing platform on the Barenberg (approx. 620 m above sea level) is 100 meters above the Elendstal and offers a beautiful view over Schierke, the Erdbeerkopf and the Hohnekamm with its cliffs.

The short­est access path starts on the out­skirts of Elend and leads steeply up to a view­point from which you can over­look the Elend­stal val­ley. From the view­point, the trail con­tin­ues to the sum­mit of the Baren­berg. We rec­om­mend descend­ing via the Schnar­cherk­lip­pen HWN 14 and hik­ing back through the Elend­stal valley.
