Stamp point 97 / Ziegenalm Sophienhof

The Ziegenalm is located in the tranquil Harz village of Sophienhof, surrounded by forests, where ducks and geese still chatter on the village pond.

At the goat farm, you can see for your­self how the ani­mals are kept and cared for in a species-appro­pri­ate man­ner, how clean milk is pro­duced and how care­ful­ly cheese is made. Chil­dren will not only enjoy the fun of the goat lambs, they will also be cap­ti­vat­ed by the atten­tive and grace­ful moth­er goats. The freely acces­si­ble domes­tic ani­mal facil­i­ties at the Ziege­nalm are home to wool­ly pigs, red Harz cat­tle, don­keys, goats and sheep. 

The Ziege­nalm’s offer is round­ed off by a catered alpine restau­rant and a farm store. The Ziege­nalm in Sophien­hof can be reached via a nar­row, sign­post­ed access road from the B 81 between Net­zkater and Ilfeld. 

The first brew­ery inn in the south­ern Harz region opened oppo­site the Ziege­nalm in Sep­tem­ber 2013.
Here you can enjoy Sophien­hof beers, brewed accord­ing to the Ger­man puri­ty law, in a cozy, rus­tic atmosphere.
