Stöberhai, Mountain summit in South Harz, Germany

The Stöberhai reaches 720 meters above sea level, standing as the highest elevation in the South Harz region near the Oder Dam.

In 1872, the first tavern was built on the summit, followed by the Berghotel Stöberhai with an observation tower constructed in 1889.

The name Stöberhai derives from a combination of a charcoal burner named Stöber and 'Hai', meaning grove or forest clearing.

Multiple hiking paths lead to the summit from different directions, except for the northern side behind the Oder Reservoir.

From 1957 to 1992, the summit served as a NATO surveillance station with a concrete tower for monitoring East German military communications.

Location: Lower Saxony

Elevation above the sea: 720 m
