The quest looks so interesting from below, perched on top of the mountain, that you just have to go up there to see it up close. Admittedly, the climb is not entirely without problems. However, from above you have a wonderful view of Questenberg and the orchards, where you can walk past and pick yourself a little snack.

Definitely one of the most beautiful stamps of the Harz hiking pin. The view of the town and the ruins of Questenburg are just too beautiful!

The quest is a truly mystical place. The ubiquitous karst rock alone makes it unique. It is said that there used to be a place of worship here. The Questefest is still celebrated today at Pentecost. Down in the valley, Questenberg is oddly squeezed between the cliffs. On the other side you can see the Questenburg ruins. The beech forest behind the Queste is a real wild garlic paradise in late spring.
