Stamping point 28 / Steinerne Renne inn

The Steinerne Renne is an approximately 2.5 km long section of the Holtemme valley southwest of the Wernigerode district of Hasserode, which has been designated a natural monument.

Over mil­lions of years, the Holtemme riv­er, which ris­es from the Brock­en mas­sif, has formed a bizarre gorge of gran­ite rock here, in which numer­ous water­falls and rapids can be observed.

Above this gorge is the Stein­erne Renne inn (520 m above sea lev­el) on a par­tic­u­lar­ly rocky sec­tion of the riv­er. The stamp box is locat­ed in the entrance area of the inn. 

The best start­ing point for a hike is the Stein­erne Renne train sta­tion in Has­serode. The most adven­tur­ous but also the most ardu­ous path leads past the hydro­elec­tric pow­er sta­tion direct­ly through the gorge. Sure­foot­ed­ness is absolute­ly essen­tial on the upper sec­tion of this trail! 

Oth­er paths are sign­post­ed from Steineren Renne sta­tion, e.g. the Biel­stein­chaussee or the Hippelhangweg.
