Lehof, Natural sandstone monument north of Quedlinburg, Germany

The Lehof formation rises more than 20 meters above the surrounding landscape, featuring vertical cliffs on its eastern side and a wooded plateau.

Until the 1930s, the sandstone at Lehof served as a quarry, and during excavation work in 1930, workers discovered Bronze Age artifacts including swords and rings.

The northeastern edge of Lehof held a watchtower that formed part of the medieval defense system protecting the city of Quedlinburg.

Two walking paths lead to the plateau from west and south, offering views toward the north, east, and south across the Harz mountain foothills.

The eastern wall of Lehof contains sections that hang over the edge, creating distinct geological formations in the sandstone structure.
