Feigenbaumklippe

Feigenbaumklippe is a granite rock formation in the Oker Valley near Goslar. The cliff displays steep faces with rough surfaces that stand out sharply from the surrounding forest.

This granite formation developed millions of years ago when geological forces shaped the Harz region during mountain building. Weathering and water erosion have since carved and refined its current shape.

Local hiking communities maintain traditional routes to the summit, marking paths that connect various geological formations throughout the Oker Valley region.

The site is reachable via marked hiking trails from Altenau, with straightforward access suitable for regular walkers. Observation platforms provide safe spots to stop and view the rock formations up close.

The granite blocks display rounded shapes from specific weathering patterns that resemble stacked cotton sacks piled on top of each other. This rounded surface form results from a particular type of granite weathering that is not found everywhere.
