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!

Mountaineering

The largest viewing rock on the ridge path is easy to climb thanks to the ascent aids.

Whoever wants to get to the top has to climb properly. Not suitable for small children!
