The Stapenberg (443 m above sea level) lies above the village of Benzingerode.

The recommended starting point is the parking lot at the church in Benzingerode, where the signposted hiking trail begins, which leads very steeply from the edge of the village through the forest to the summit plateau. From there you have an excellent view over the Harz foreland and to the Brocken.
We recommend continuing the tour to Austbergturm HWN 83 and on to Heimburg and Altenburg HWN 84.
