One of the high points of my visit to the Harz Mountains was a visit to the Teufelsmauer (“Devil’s Wall”), a massive sandstone ridge stretching east of Blankenburg, and parallel to the Harz mountains themselves.

There was a footpath right on top of the ridge, which provided a spectacular view in both directions - although it required some climbing, and it was definitely nothing for people who are afraid of heights!
