Armeleuteberg

Armeleuteberg is a mountain summit near Wernigerode in the Harz region that rises to about 478 meters above sea level. From the peak, visitors can see across the surrounding mountain ranges and forested areas.

The summit gained importance as a regional destination when the Kaiserturm observation tower was built at the peak in 1902. This structure established the site as a notable point for early regional tourism in the area.

The summit serves as checkpoint 35 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network, making it a recognized point on the local walking routes. Hikers visit to collect verification stamps as part of this regional tradition.

The summit is accessible via marked trails from the Försterplatz parking area through forest paths. Wear sturdy footwear as the route can be muddy or slippery during damp weather.

A forest inn sits at the summit, providing refreshment and meals directly at the peak for tired hikers. This inn also serves as the official checkpoint for the hiking badge system, making it a convenient stop.
