Himmelsleiter Steps

Highlight • Structure

If you can't (or don't want to) walk up the stairs, they can also be bypassed!!! You then hike along the upper Bandweg.

Himmelsleiter — Stairway and View of Stolberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sporty it goes up the steep stairs of the sky ladder that starts over the train station.
The first prospects make you look forward to the goal of Luther Buche.

View of Stolberg from the Lutherbuche

Highlight • Viewpoint

The small town of Stolberg is by far one of the most beautiful historical towns in the Harz Mountains. The place is beautifully at your feet from the Luther beech. The best thing to do afterwards is to walk down the Himmelsleiter and at the other end of the village up the Bandweg again, so you can see the beautiful village from all sides. Don't forget to visit the castle!
