Stamping point 191 / Laubtalblick

The Laubtal, through which the “Große Uhlenbach” flows, is located between Friedrichsbrunn and the Uhlenstein forester’s lodge.

Today’s “Friedrichs­brun­nen” is a land­mark of the vil­lage, which cen­turies ago was a pop­u­lar rest­ing place for mer­chants, hunters, war­riors and mer­ce­nar­ies on the old Quedlin­burg-Nord­hausen mil­i­tary road. In 1754, King Fred­er­ick II stopped at the rest­ing place known at the time as the “Unfaith­ful Well” dur­ing an inspec­tion tour. 

At the king’s behest, fam­i­lies set­tled as colonists between 1773 and 1775. The new­ly cre­at­ed vil­lage was giv­en the name Friedrichs­brunn and the well was renamed “Friedrichs­brun­nen”.

The tourist devel­op­ment of the tran­quil vil­lage of Friedrichs­brunn, which is now a pop­u­lar vaca­tion des­ti­na­tion in the Bode Val­ley, began back in 1884. In the exten­sive forests and mead­ows in the area, you can admire rare plants such as arni­ca, Turk’s cap lily, daphne and autumn cro­cus, not for­get­ting the “Troll­blu­men­wiesen” nat­ur­al monument. 

From the hik­ing park­ing lot at the end of the vil­lage in the direc­tion of Gün­ters­berge, you hike along sign­post­ed hik­ing trails across the Troll­blu­men­wiese mead­ow and then along the Großer Uhlen­bach stream to the Laub­tals­blick stamp­ing station.
