The Harz Hiking Pin

The Harz Hiking Pin project makes hiking even more meaningful. Launched in 2005, this successful initiative has captivated many hikers. At 222 locations throughout the Harz, stamps can be collected, showcasing the most beautiful, romantic, and exciting places in the region. Those who collect all 222 stamps can call themselves Harz Hiking Emperors. However, even less ambitious hikers can achieve the hiking pin in bronze, silver, or gold.
