    The "sofa cliff" was by no means the result of natural erosion, but the work of hardworking stonecutters from bygone days. The stair-like ascent and the good view - when the trees weren't there or were smaller - speak for it. It is believed that this is a solar cult site. (from "Prehistoric Cults of the Harz Mountains and Its Surroundings", Prof. Dipl.-Ing Norbert Rikus, 1997)

      A sofa up on the rock 🪨! Here you can take a few steps and a small path to get to the “sofa” where you can take a break during the hike 🥾.

        The Bodensteiner cliffs extend for a length of about four kilometers between Bodenstein and the Jägerhaus am Hainberg.

        They are built from the Hilsandstein of the Lower Cretaceous. This sandstone is mostly placed in the so-called sub-aptium and is around 110 million years old today.

        It is advisable to wear good shoes.
