Ottofelsen

The Ottofels ("Otto Rock"), named after Prince Otto of Stolberg-Wernigerode, is a tor and natural monument near Wernigerode in the Harz mountains of central Germany.

The Ottofels or Ottofelsen[1] lie about 2.5 km southwest of Hasserode in the borough of Wernigerode.

It can only be reached on foot, either from the Steinerne Renne halt on the Harz Railway and Brocken Railway or from the car park at the junction of the Thumkuhle and Dränge valleys not far from the road to Drei Annen Hohne.

[2] They are made of coarse-grained granite and have been weathered to form a tor.

On 27 July 1892 there was a ceremony to mark the completion of public access to the top, which consisted of several iron ladders.
