Stöberhai station
From 1899 to 1963, the narrow-gauge railway Walkenried – Braunlage / Tanne ran a bend in the Weinglastal valley , which was used to gain altitude. At the request of the owner of the Stöberhai mountain hotel about 1.3 kilometers away, the Stöberhai stop on the mountain slope in the Weinglastal was set up during the construction of the route and opened on August 15, 1899. Since several hundred passengers were getting on and off every day in the summer, especially on Sundays, at the stop that had neither a waiting hall nor benches, a single-storey wooden station building with ticket sales and restaurants was added and opened in October 1900. The officially called Stöberhai stop, however, has been popularly known as Stöberhai station since the beginning . The station building burned down on the night of January 16-17, 1907. In the same year, the somewhat larger station building that exists today was rebuilt, which also received an upper floor with the landlord's apartment. From 1910 to 1935, the restaurant was hosted by the former former sculptor Karl Mast from the Jägermeister Mast family.
After the cessation of passenger traffic on September 28, 1962, the line was finally closed in 1963 and the tracks dismantled. Today a cycle path runs along the old railway line. The former Stöberhai train station is still operated as a forest inn today. The game feeding attached to the restaurant has been staged every evening since the 1950s and can be observed from the guest room on the opposite slope of the Weinglastal.
The Stöberhai station is a stop on the Harzer Baudensteig hiking trail, which was set up in 2010 .
