Zeterklippen

The track initially runs uphill through dense spruce forest until the view opens out towards the Hohnekamm and down to Wernigerode.

Immediately below this highest of the rocks is a mountain hut that dates to the time when a botanical garden had been laid out here as a replacement for the inaccessible Brockengarten.

The climb is rewarded with a wonderful view of the Brocken, the town of Wernigerode below and the North Harz Foreland.

It is not derived from Zeter or Zintar or Brunnen des Ziu ("Thor's Spring").

Also unlikely is the connexion with the Upper German word zêter which is a call for legal or military assistance.
