Directions

Romkerhall is a popular excursion destination five kilometers south of the Goslar district Oker. The Romkerhall waterfall is considered the highest artificial waterfall in the Harz. This is where the hike begins. It leads over the Kleiner Romke – an outcrop of the Huthberg – and continues to the Fig Tree Cliff, the Mousetrap and finally to the Witch’s Kitchen. In the immediate vicinity, there is a group of granite rocks at about 600 meters above the Oker valley – the Käste Cliffs. They offer an excellent view of the Oker valley and the northern Harz foreland. Their current shape was formed by the so-called "wool sack weathering." This type of weathering shapes solid rock into rounded blocks. You follow the Käste Road over the Ziegenrücken Cliff to the Waldhaus Okertal. From there, you hike over the Eagle Cliffs to the Engagement Island in the Oker valley and back to Romkerhall.
