Eagle Cliff

Highlight • Viewpoint

A stony path, a narrow footbridge and a few steps will take you to the eagle cliff. From here you have a great view of the Upper Harz Aqueduct and with a little luck you can watch the climbers.

Kästeklippen Rock Formation and Viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

At their highest point, the spectacular cliffs form the summit of the Huthberg at 604.8 meters above sea level. The view of the Okertal is breathtaking, especially at sunset. If you look closely, you can see the "Old Man on the Mountain" - a part of the box cliffs that exactly resembles the sunken face of an old man.

Witches' Kitchen

Highlight • Natural Monument

The witch's kitchen is a striking rock formation made of wollsack-weathered granite. It is located near the Kästeklippen. The trail towards Mausefalle and Feigenbaumklippe leads past the Hexenküche.

Fig Tree Cliff

Highlight • Viewpoint

a beautiful view of the expanse offers itself to those who dares to the foremost rock. Do not worry, a metal railing provides support and protection.

Great tour - but there are far too many photos taken, I still have to change them.

A nice tour overall...although you don't even need to try the small paths and trails anymore...everything is overgrown. But the planned hm training was great.

One of the 'Harz classics' from the Romkerhalle, it goes on a small path and forest path to the fig tree cliff, then past the mouse cliff... on to the Käthe cliff with the old man (I've been in the corner for the 3rd time, but I had it not discovered before, so it's worth hiking together once more).

A truly beautiful and varied walk. I walked it with our dog in light rain. Some of the paths were too precarious and steep for us. However, with good footwear and courage, they are manageable.

In the Okertal there was no snow for my tour, but that made absolutely no difference. It was so beautiful, I couldn't get enough of the incredible beauty of the landscape. Both in the valley and at higher altitudes and cliffs. The sounds of this hike were also a pleasure: rippling water, birds chirping, wind whistling and rustling in the …
