Selkesicht at the Ackeburg
At the Selkesicht viewpoint, you have a magnificent view of Falkenstein Castle and the Selketal below. At this unique location you will find the stamp box 204 of the Harz hiking pin.
Start your hike from Ballenstedt at the forest parking lot above the former lung clinic.
The trail starts on Falkenweg, an asphalt road that runs alongside a residential area and agricultural land. At the fork, continue along the Kohlenschacht path. Now follow the signs to Selkesicht or to the ruins of the Ackeburg castle.
You first reach the ruins of the former Ackeburg castle via a beautiful nature trail. The breathtaking Selkesicht viewpoint awaits you at the end of the trail.
Tip: Stamp hunters take the route via the “Old Coal Shaft” on the way back, because here you will find stamp 180 of the Harz hiking pin.
