Collecting stamps in Zorge Route 9 – 3 stamps

During this moderately difficult hike, you can collect three stamps of the Harz Hiking Badge in your stamp pass and also enjoy a beautiful route through the Harz forests. You start at the Hammerschmiede/Hercynian Distilling Co. Then follow along the Elsbach stream to the Stepmother (Stamp 64), onwards to the Pregnant Maiden and the Spiral Oak (Stamp 165). After the second stamp, you walk past the Zankecke and the long mountain to the Red Shot stamp point (Stamp 90). From there, the path leads over the Wegspinne and the Kuhtalskopf/Pfaffenborn back to the Stepmother. From there, the return path is the same as the way out. According to the route description, the return path via the special stamp "Two-Country Oak" is recommended.
