View of the Fünf Finger Rock Formation

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great rocks 🪨 that you can climb. There are beautiful views all around, partly through the rocks. Some of the rocks are heavily eroded and you should be sure-footed. It's a great experience!

Five-Finger Rock and Devil’s Chair near Halberstadt

Highlight • Natural Monument

From both sandstone rocks you can look at the other, past the Five Finger Rock which is more striking, but the Teufelskanzel has a beautiful view and a small cave.

In 2017, the rocks were cleared, but now the view is once again severely restricted by the fast-growing birch trees.

First you reach the main path via a slightly longer set of stairs, from which you have a great view towards Halberstadt and the various rock formations.

For the latter, however, you should carry a flashlight …
