Location

The Stapenberg lies on the northern edge of the Harz within the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park. It rises southwest of the village of Benzingerode in the borough of Wernigerode. To the north the country descends into the northern Harz Foreland.

History

In 1470 the hill came into the ownership of a local knight, Hans Knauth.

Views and hiking

The Stapenberg is known because of its views of the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz, and over the northern Harz Foreland between Wernigerode and Heimburg, which are currently visible thanks to logging on the summit. A steeply climbing footpath runs over the hill from the direction of Benzingerode towards the Hermannsweg and Wernigerode Castle or towards Elbingerode (Harz). On the summit is check point no. 33 in the network of walking trails called the Harzer Wandernadel.[2]

gollark: My friend's debian-running server is somehow still on nginx 1.14.2, when my up-to-date unnecessarily-compiled-from-source one is at 1.19.10 or so.
gollark: The Arch arm-none-eabi-gcc was apparently updated about 2 weeks ago, so presumably they aren't getting it from ARM themselves. So I don't see why Debian would be either. Maybe they're just hilariously outdated for no reason.
gollark: ARM publishes them? Aren't they compiled by debian themselves from something something GCC source repositories?
gollark: I mostly just use an actual (μ)SD card reader.
gollark: I know someone who does malware reverse engineering a bit but I don't know if they'd care and also this is stupid and you should just assume anything on there is compromised.
