Hirschhorn Crags

The Hirschhorn Rocks (German: Hirschhornklippen or Hirschhörner) are a natural monument in the Harz National Park in central Germany.

The highest point of this group of rocks is 1,023 metres above sea level.

Other early mentions include: in 1587 zwischen den Hartzhernern und dem Könnigesbergk (between the Harztherner and the Könnigesbergk), in 1667 unter den Hirschhören (below the Hirschhören), in 1709 as the Hirschhörner and in 1725 as the Hirschhornerklippe.

The border ran right between the Hirschhorns between the County of Wernigerode and the District of Harzburg in the old Duchy of Brunswick.

Due to their unique appearance the Hirschhorn Rocks were once a popular destination for Brocken walkers.
