Leistenklippe Trail

Very nice “moor path”. I can only recommend. 👍

The Trudenstein is still below the Hohnekamm and is included in the system of the Harzer hiking nobility with the number 17. Even if not so high; the view is still great and a bit of climbing is also necessary.

July 9, 2025,Stempeln bei Schierke

Today, we set off from Schierke to various cliffs. At first, visibility was very hazy, but it improved toward the end. My highlight was the Leistenklippe.

March 7, 2025,Klippenrunde bei Schierke und etwas mehr ⛰️🏔

Today we did a cliff walk near Schierke. Many of the hiking trails were small and close to nature. So we went over hill and dale again in some places. But we like these and prefer them to the "forest highways".

In between there were cliffs that you can walk on and there were also beautiful views towards the Brocken.
