Hermann-Löns-Denkmal

Hermann-Löns-Denkmal is a stone memorial located on Blockshorn Mountain along a hiking path with a small surrounding park. From this spot, visitors look out over Hasserode and the city of Wernigerode spread across the valley below.

The memorial was built in 1929 to honor Hermann Löns, a writer whose work shaped how people understood Wernigerode. Löns had brought attention to the region through his writings about the Harz landscape and local life.

The memorial stands as a symbol of how writers shape local pride and identity through their work. Visitors can sense how deeply Löns' literature influenced the way people see this landscape and their home.

The memorial is reached by following marked hiking trails that wind through the forest to the elevated spot. The walk itself is straightforward and takes you through woodland before arriving at the viewpoint.

The site functions as an observation point where visitors can watch how the northern Harz landscape changes with the seasons throughout the year. Standing here, you notice the transformation of colors and vegetation as each season brings different light and growth patterns.
