Zeterklippen, Granite cliffs in Ilsenburg, Germany

The Zeterklippen consists of three distinct granite formations: the Large Zeterklippe at 929 meters, Middle at 866 meters, and Small at 827 meters elevation.

The name Zeterklippen first appeared in historical records in 1407 as 'de Zetterberg' before evolving through variations like Zetterklebe and Setterklee.

The cliffs serve as checkpoint number 10 for the Harz Hiking Badge, a regional initiative promoting outdoor activities in the Harz Mountains.

Hikers can access the cliffs from multiple starting points including Wernigerode, Drei Annen Hohne, Schierke, and Ilsenburg with distances ranging from 5 to 11 kilometers.

A botanical garden existed beneath the Large Zeterklippe during the German Democratic Republic period due to restricted access to the Brocken area.
