    Hiking

    The paternoster cliff is located about 2.8 kilometers south-southwest of the Ilsenburg core town. At the rock formation the trail leads from Ilsestein to Plessenburg

    Hiking

    The Paternosta cliff in the Harz Mountains is a rock near the town of Ilsenburg.
    If you believe a saga, the name Paternosterklippe is derived from the last Lord's Prayer that a group of nuns prayed before plunging to death before robber knights ... so the explanation of the Paternoster cliff on Wikipedia. Definitely a beautiful vantage point and, as you can easily see, a popular photo motif

    From here you have a beautiful view of the Ilsestein and the Brocken.
