Kästeklippen

Map / Kästeklippen
Die Kästeklippen, eine Gruppe von Granitfelsen, liegen in 605 m Höhe hoch über dem Okertal. Sie gehören zu den beliebtesten Wanderzielen im nordwestlichen Harz und bieten eine hervorragende Aussicht auf das Tal der Oker und ins nördliche Harzvorland. 
Ihre heutige Form haben sie durch die so genannte "Wollsackverwitterung" erhalten. Diese Art der Verwitterung formt massives Gestein zu abgerundeten Blöcken.
In ihrer Nähe befindet sich die besonders markante Felsbildung, "Der Alte vom Berge".
