Stamp point 74 / Hamburg coat of arms (Teufelsmauer)

The bizarre rock formation (252 m above sea level) is part of the legendary Devil’s Wall between Blankenburg and Timmenrode.

It got its name because the three upright rock spikes are rem­i­nis­cent of Ham­burg’s coat of arms. With its many caves and ledges, this van­tage point invites not only young hik­ers to dis­cov­er and climb. 

The best start­ing point is the park­ing lot at the sports field in Tim­men­rode. From there, you can reach the Ham­burg coat of arms via a nar­row, sign­post­ed path. 

You can hike on a cir­cu­lar trail with fan­tas­tic views from the Ham­burg coat of arms via the Teufels­mauer to HWN 76 Groß­vater­felsen. The “Kammweg” is a spe­cial expe­ri­ence for hik­ers with a head for heights.
