Hahnenklee Crags

Hahnenklee Crags are hornfels rock formations that reach about 740 meters elevation within the Harz mountains. They rise with steep walls and offer views over the surrounding valley.

The name comes from the term Hahnenkliev, meaning high crags, rather than from the nearby village of Hahnenklee. This naming reflects old language traditions rooted in the region.

These rock formations serve as a viewing point where visitors gather to look out over the surrounding landscape. The place draws people interested in exploring the mountain region.

You can reach the viewing point via a short path starting from Hahnenklee Forest Road. The route is easy to walk and provides quick access to the overlook.

The western side drops steeply toward the valley, creating a sharp edge in the landscape. This pronounced drop makes it a distinctive feature within the mountain region.
