Treppenstein

The Treppenstein is a rock formation in the Oker valley in the Harz mountains of central Germany.

It lies on the trail from the Romkerhall Waterfall to the Kästeklippen.

The rocks consist of granite and have clearly undergone so-called "wool sack weathering" (Wollsackverwitterung).

[1] The Treppenstein is a popular destination and part of the system of checkpoints (no.

117) in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking trail network.
