Location


Benneckenstein lies in the Lower Harz within the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park. It is located between the villages of Tanne to the north, Trautenstein to the east-northeast and Stiege to the east (all in Saxony-Anhalt), Rothesütte to the south (in Thuringia), Hohegeiß to the west (in Lower Saxony) and Sorge to the north-northwest (in Saxony-Anhalt). The village lies at a height of about 500 to 542 m above NN[1] on the upper reaches of the Rappbode. Following the former Inner German Border to the west is the border with Lower Saxony and to the south that with Thuringia; about 3.3 km south-southwest of the village is the tripoint for the three states which is marked by the Drei-Länder-Stein.


The organist, composer and music theorist Andreas Werckmeister was born in Benneckenstein in 1645.

The secluded forest village of Grüntal (515 m), with its forester's lodge and a few holiday homes, is located by a clearing northeast of Benneckenstein and is also checkpoint 49 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network.[2]
