Small roadside memorial commemorating the Waldsterben (forest dieback) at the edge of Wernigerode’s wooded hills. Photograph the weathered stone, engraved plaque and surrounding beech/spruce backdrop — best in autumn for color or at golden hour for warm side-lighting. Easily reachable on Mittelstraße; roadside parking and short walking access. No entry fees; wheelchair access depends on path conditions. Weekday mornings and after light rain give rich textures and low foot traffic.
