Stamp point 54 / Rotestein

The Rotestein (503 m above sea level) is located not far from the Stemberghaus charcoal burner near Hasselfelde. It is an interesting vantage point high above the Rappbode Dam and offers a wonderful view over the shimmering waters of the dam as far as the Brocken peak. 

The Rotestein was vot­ed the most beau­ti­ful stamp site in 2010 by our hik­ing friends.

Opin­ions from hik­ing enthu­si­asts:
“The view of the dam from the Rotestein is fan­tas­tic. You feel like you’re on a fjord in Nor­way, but you can see the Brock­en in the background. 

“This stamp­ing point can also be eas­i­ly reached by hik­ers who are not so good on foot. Despite its prox­im­i­ty to the main road, you will find heav­en­ly peace and qui­et to dream and relax.” 

The best start­ing point for a hike to the Rotestein is the park­ing lot in front of the Harzköh­lerei Stem­berghaus HWN 60. From there, cross the B 81 and fol­low the sign­post­ed hik­ing trail for approx. 2 km to the Rotestein.
