Steinerne Renne

The Steinerne Renne is a waterfall and natural monument near the town of Wernigerode in the Harz mountains of central Germany.

The Steinerne Renne is east of the Harz National Park in the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park. It lies southwest of Hasserode in the borough of Wernigerode in a forested stretch of the valley formed by the upper reaches of the Holtemme river between the hill of Renneckenberg (eastern neighbour of the Brocken) some distance away to the southwest, between the Bielstein (ca. 525 m above sea level (NN)) to the north and the ridge of Hippeln and the Kontorberg (556.1 m) to the south.

In the gorge, numerous small waterfalls and rapids alternate with quieter stretches of water in the Holtemme's rock and boulder-strewn riverbed. The entrance to the gorge below the Hannekenbruch lies at a height of about 550 m above NN and the exit is below Steinerne Renne railway station at around 300 m above NN, a height difference of about 250 metres. At 395 m the Kleine Renne empties into the Steinerne Renne from the left.

The Steinerne Renne forest inn and hotel is perched above the point in river where it is 519.5 m high. In addition, there used to be a footbridge over the Holtemme somewhat further east (346 m) and a restaurant, Am Silbernern Mann, below the rocks known as the Silberner Mann.
