No. 39 - Felswerke Open-Pit Mine. Checkpoint 39 is located at the viewpoint overlooking the Elbingerode open-pit mine. It is a mandatory stop for the "Harzer Steiger".
Conclusion: The open-pit mine is as old as I am. Since I grew up with the "hole," the scale is nothing special to me. However, anyone standing at the edge of the quarry for the first time is overwhelmed by the gigantic dimensions of the limestone industry's exploitation around Rübeland and Elbingerode.
