Unusual rocks in the Harz Mountains. They consist of three stone spires that resemble the towers of a medieval castle, which is why they were given the name ‘Hamburg Coat of Arms’ in the 19th century. Compare for yourself.

These bizarre designs have been carved into the sandstone by nature over thousands of years. The rocks are part of the
Teufelsmauer (Devil's Wall), which stretches along the Harz Mountains and is associated with many legends.
