The Grandfather Rock is part of the Devil's Wall. Some strength is required to climb it. But the effort is rewarded. From the top you have a magnificent view of Blankenburg. A few meters further you will find the grandmother rock and the Löbbecke rock. The area is a climbing paradise for children!

Scrambling is announced!

The Grandfather Rock (317 meters) can be climbed/climbed, but requires sure-footedness. Once at the top you have a wonderful view over Blankenburg. If you don't want to or can't go that high, you can stop off at the Grandfather restaurant below the hiking trail.

Attention stamp hunters:

Directly on the hiking trail, between the Grandfather restaurant (below) and the Grandfather Rock (above), there is stamp box 76 for the Harz hiking pin. You can continue directly to the Haburg coat of arms HWN 74 via the Löbbeckestieg.

The stamp 76 of the Harz hiking pin is located below the grandfather rock and above the grandfather restaurant. From here you can hike directly to the Hamburg coat of arms.
