## Sights

### Harz charcoal burning museum

Charcoal burning

Along the road leading to [Blankenburg](/source/Blankenburg_(Harz)) is the *Harzköhlerei Stemberghaus*. This is an [open-air museum](/source/Open-air_museum) that produces charcoal in the traditional way. The site includes a restaurant, the *Köhlerhütte*, built in 2012, and a souvenir shop.[2] The museum is checkpoint 60 in the [Harzer Wandernadel](/source/Harzer_Wandernadel) hiking network.[3]

### Historical Train Station

The historical building of the train station can be visited (outside only) and is currently owned by a local software company named RR Software. After the purchase, the train station was renovated by the company in recent years. The outside of the building remained historically correct with a refurbished wooden structure, typical for buildings in the region.

### Memorial Stone on the Town Square

A memorial stone dedicated "to those who suffered and lost their lives in wars and under terror and violence" is located in the northwest corner of the central town square. During socialist rule in East Germany this stone had a much larger plaque stating "We Want Peace", which in 1993 was replaced by the present one. Judging by the number of holes drilled in the stone and by their location it is apparent that this stone had more uses in the past.
