Kästeklippen

The Kästeklippen, often shortened to Käste, is a rocky tor above the Oker valley in the Upper Harz mountains of central Germany.

Near the Käste are other similar granite rock formations such as the Hexenküche ("Witch's Kitchen"), Mausefalle ("Mousetrap"), Feigenbaumklippe and the Treppenstein.

The rocks consist of granite "wool sacks", typical of the Harz region.

It runs from Bad Harzburg up to the Schlackenplatz on the Morlberg and then continues at a height of just under 600 m over the Alte Schlewecke and the crags of the Stiefmutterklippen to the Käste.

From the beginning of April to the end of October a bus service runs from Bad Harzburg to the Käste.
