Achtermannshöhe, Mountain summit in Harz Mountains, Germany
The Achtermannshöhe rises 925 meters above sea level, featuring a rounded hilltop covered with loose boulders that extend beyond the surrounding forest canopy.
The mountain's base contains granite from the Brocken massif, while its peak consists of hornfels, a metamorphic rock formed from Grauwacke over geological periods.
The mountain serves as checkpoint number 12 on the Harz Wandernadel hiking network, where nature enthusiasts collect stamps during their mountain expeditions.
Multiple hiking routes connect to the summit from Oderbrück and Königskrug, with intermediate loops ranging between 11.9 and 14.9 kilometers in length.
The summit provides direct views of sunrise behind the Brocken mountain, while recent bark beetle activity has modified the surrounding forest landscape.
