Radio mast in the forest under a blue sky

Stamping point 51 / Carlsturm

The Carlsturm stands on the Carlshaushöhe (626 m above sea level) between Trautenstein and Sophienhof.

Radio mast in the forest under a blue sky

It was rebuilt in 1998 by Harz­er Schmal­spur­bahn GmbH as a radio tow­er with a vis­i­tor plat­form. The tow­er has a steel weight of 30,000 kg and a height of 50 m. 

The view from the tow­er is sen­sa­tion­al and extends over the whole of the Ober­harz as far as the Kyffhäuser.

A good start­ing point is the Rad­wege­haus park­ing lot on the B81 between Has­selfelde and Ilfeld. As a day tour, how­ev­er, you can also include the HWN 50 Walzen­hütte, the HWN 47 Ober­harzblick am Buchen­berg, the HWN 48 Stier­berg­ste­ich, the HWN 97 Ziege­nalm Sophien­hof and the Carl­sturm in a beau­ti­ful cir­cu­lar tour from Trautenstein.
