Altarklippen - Aussichtspunkt

The steep ascent is rewarded by a truly fantastic view ...
Stamp post HWN Altarklippe

Fantastic look

A very nice view of the Granetal dam and easy to reach on foot or by bike. There is also a stamp of the Harzer hiking pin.

New viewpoint since 2019, great view of the Granetalsperre, Wolfshagen and far into the Harz foothills.
Do not drive down the forest path, 30 m behind the viewpoint is the entrance to the Altar cliff trail on the left: It is worth it !!!

When the weather is nice, a fantastic view and a nice place to stay

Worthwhile because of the view over the Granetalsperre far into the northern foreland.

Wonderful view over the dam an absolute must :)

Since the original vantage point and the stamp box had grown over, both were relocated.
But the view is still great

Attention!
The viewpoint has been relocated and is now 100 meters lower.Grandiose view of the Granetalsperre and Wolfshagen !!The Altarklippen (516 m above sea level) are located between Hahnenklee and Wolfshagen, above the Granestausee.
From the wooded cliff you can enjoy a unique view over the Granetalsperre.
Why the altar lip got its name is not proven beyond doubt. It is believed that the Hildesheim bishop Altfrid (about 800 to 874), whose family owned property in the Harz Mountains, held services on the Altarklippe to convert the pagan population of the Harz to the Christian faith.

Sensational view ... Stamp box Altar lips Harzer Wander Nadel (HWN)

Very nice view up here.

Very nice view of Wolfshagen and the Granetalsperre, with a clear view as far as Salzgitter and Braunschweig.

Just an amazing view of the Granetalsperre. Great paths and trails up here. It is definitely worth it.

Very nice view of Granetalsperre, Wolfshagen quarry and campsite
