Zu den Kästeklippen über dem Okertal
46.8kmLength

Circular
The Kästeklippen with their granite cliffs are a particular attraction for hikers who start in Romkerhalle or at the Waldhaus. However, they can also be easily reached by bike without colliding with hikers.
Once at the top, it is best to leave your bike and explore the surrounding area on foot.
Following the demolition of the pub, the forest has set up a refreshment station up here, where drinks and snacks are available.
The tour is quite demanding in places, both in terms of the gradients and the condition of the path.
