Barenberg

The Barenberg is a 695.5-metre summit in the Harz mountains of Saxony-Anhalt, historically known also as Bärenberg or Bärenkopf, situated near the Schierke district of Wernigerode. It is accessible via the Harz's extensive trail network and offers views across dense conifer forest typical of the upper Harz. No specific summit infrastructure is documented; the hill is primarily a quiet natural destination for hikers based in the Braunlage and Wernigerode area.
