Stamping point 118 / Kästehaus

The name „Käste“ comes from Old High German and means oak. In the past, crossbows, bows and spears were made from this hard wood. 

The Käs­te­klip­pe is one of the many gra­ni­te cliffs in the Oker Val­ley and is acces­si­ble as a vie­w­ing cliff. The cliff is also a prime exam­p­le of the wea­the­ring of wool sacks typi­cal of the Harz moun­ta­ins, whe­re the rocks are roun­ded off by wea­the­ring so that they look like wool sacks. The striking rock for­ma­ti­on „Der Alte vom Ber­ge“, which can be found here, is par­ti­cu­lar­ly impressive. 

From the van­ta­ge point, we have a fan­ta­stic view over the enti­re Oker valley.

From the Rom­ker­hal­le par­king lot below the Oker dam, you should first take the hiking trail to the Rom­ker­hall water­fall. From the water­fall, a beau­tiful cir­cu­lar tour leads over the Fei­gen­baum­klip­pe, Mau­se­fal­le, Hexen­kü­che, Käs­te­haus and on to the Trep­pen­stein HWN 117.

The stamp box is loca­ted at the cross­roads north of the Käs­te­haus, next to the bus stop.
