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.
