Stamp point 31 / Agnesberg

The Agnesberg (395 m above sea level) is located above Wernigerode Castle. From up there, you have a wonderful view of Wernigerode Castle as well as the Brocken. 

Around the 10th cen­tu­ry, a sett­le­ment was estab­lished around a low­land cast­le on what is now Klint. The small clea­ring sett­le­ment soon deve­lo­ped into a mar­ket town of regio­nal importance. In 1229, the Counts of Wer­ni­ge­ro­de gran­ted the town town char­ter based on the Gos­lar model. From 1110 to 1120, a count who cal­led hims­elf „Comte des Wer­ni­ge­ro­the“ had his cast­le built on the Agnesberg. 

From Wer­ni­ge­ro­de Cast­le, you can climb the Agnes­berg via the Ama­li­en­weg and con­ti­nue the hike to the Chris­tia­nen­tal Inn HWN 32.
