It is in the eastern Harz, approximately 17 km south of Wernigerode.

The site includes a restaurant, the Köhlerhütte, built in 2012, and a souvenir shop.

After the purchase, the train station was renovated by the company in recent years.

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.
