Schnarcherklippen

Schnarcherklippen is the name of a rock formation (up to 671 m above sea level) south of the village of Schierke in the High Harz mountains of Saxony-Anhalt in central Germany.

[1][2][3] Another feature of the Schnarcherklippen is that they deflect compass needles away from magnetic north due to the presence of magnetite in the rock.

From the top of the rocks there is a view over the whole of the surrounding area, including the Bärenkopf, the holiday resort of Schierke, the Erdbeerkopf, the Brocken massif and the Wurmberg.

Frau Ilse wacht für uns auf ihrem Stein, Auf seiner Höh wird Heinrich munter sein, Die Schnarcher schnauzen zwar das Elend an, Doch alles ist für tausend Jahr getan.

Dame Ilsa watches for us on her Stone, Wakeful is Henry on his lofty Throne; The Snorers snort, in truth, in Elend's ears, But all remains unchanged a thousand years.
