List of rock formations in the Harz

Topography of the Harz

This is a list of rock formations in the Harz. They are known as the Harzklippen (literally "Harz crags" or "Harz cliffs") in German, which is the collective name for the, mainly, granite rock outcrops, crags and tors in the Harz mountains of Germany. Most of them have the status of a natural monument.
