A really cool spot to discover. At first glance, one feels trapped in a world of witches, since the "inner courtyard" is predestined for a Walpurgis Night. However, climbers also get their money's worth. Whether you are a hobby explorer or an experienced climber - everyone will find something here. Climbing hooks are available in several places, but with a little skill you can also dare the ascent on the back without great equipment. Ideal for a break.

The mouse claw, also called Mauseklippe, is a granite rock formation in the Harz Mountains. It is located near Schierke in the Saxony-Anhalt district of Harz. As on many Harz granite rocks, the typical Wollsack weathering can be seen here. 😎
