Glockenberg

Glockenberg rises to 627 meters above sea level in the Harz region and is surrounded by dense forests and natural rock formations. The mountain features several marked hiking trails that run through the area.

The Glockenturm was built in 1688 using materials from the old belfry of Sankt Andreasberg's Dreifaltigkeitskirche. The structure reflects the area's architectural development across centuries.

The mountain hosts traditional Easter fire celebrations that bring local residents together to mark seasonal changes in the community.

Several marked trails reach the summit with parking available at the base and various lodging options nearby. The hiking routes are well-developed and accessible for different fitness levels.

From 1913 to 1958, a cogwheel railway called the St. Andreasberger Kleinbahn transported visitors up the mountain slopes. This historic transport system is long shut down but still shapes local memories of earlier mountain travel.
