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.

Why some people on Komoot keep setting similar highlights is and remains a mystery to me. This point marks a place on the steep climb just below the HWN 119 …

Well, I collected a lot of cliffs today... and found climbers (very nice to look at)... So many great rocks 🤗... Since the original tour was only 10 km, I wanted to do an elegant loop ... Was an official tour by Komoot... Yeah, I had a few surprises... Sometimes the paths didn't even exist anymore because there was a …

In fantastic weather again to the Oker. We did the same tour as 3 years ago, just the other way around. I didn't recognize many passages. Where we had gone completely through the forest back then, there was now free planning. There is something good about that, however. The rock formations were clearly visible in the sun.
It should go …

The start was at the Romkehall car park, from which it went steeply up to HWN 119, the Hallische Hütte. The path to the Kästecliff today was planned in a wide arc over the Diabase quarry. Unfortunately, the insights there are no longer as they were in 2019, but at least the view of the Brocken is still very worthwhile. …
