Taubenklippe (HWN 004)

Can be easily integrated into the round frog rock crucifix Eckertalsperre.
Because cliffs are always cool

From the pigeon cliff you have a great view of the raven cliff. Both stamp points for the Harzer Grenzweg booklet.

Not only the pigeon cliff itself offers an excellent view but also the way to it is worthwhile. Whether a view to the Brocken through the dead wood or the view into Eckertal direction Stapelburg

At the time of the division of Germany, the pigeon cliff lay between the border fence and the actual border, so it was not accessible to anyone. The Rabenklippe not even 1 km away with a restaurant on the opposite side of the Eckertal was worlds away at that time.
Fortunately, today everything is history and you can enjoy this great view

The pigeon cliff is a rock spur near Ilsenburg (572 m above sea level) lies high above the Eckertal near Bad Harzburg. From the viewpoint, you can see the Waldgasthaus Rabenklippe on the other side of the valley. At the time of the division within Germany, the border ran through the middle of the Eckertal and the dam of the same name.

Assuming good weather and clear air, there is a little bit off the pigeon cliff a magnificent view of the village of Ilsenburg and a wide area of ​​the northern Harz foreland, with views up to the tall buildings in Braunschweig.

There is a small wooden shelter tent at the pigeon cliff. The eponymous rocks are a few meters behind the hut and are very easy to climb. The view of the surrounding area is good, but unfortunately it is partly overgrown. The Harzer hiking pin stamping point is right next to the refuge. A good resting place, at the same time the apex on our tour. From here it's a long way down into the valley.

An overview of all (regular) 222 stamping points for the "Harzer hiking pin", which is popular with many, can be found on the following website:
