Hiking

The Leistenklippe is next to the Grenzklippe one of the cliffs of the Hohnekamm. Also located at 900 meters, the view from here is probably the most spectacular. The border cliff in the foreground, behind it the Brocken rises majestically. The wind weathering leaves the trees; the wool sack weathering the granite rocks look very wild and romantic. Great photo spot for early or late hours! And also: Stamp office of the HWN 15.
