The Schnarcherklippen (671 m above sea level) are two 28 m high famous “granite towers”, which are located south of Schierke.
In a south-easterly wind, the cliffs make noises similar to snoring. From the highest point of the cliff, which can be climbed via an iron ladder, you have a wonderful view across Schierke to the Hohnekamm and the Erdbeerkopf.
The strong vertical and horizontal structure typical of this area, the so-called wool sack structure, is particularly evident on the rocks.
From the hiking trail in Elendstal, between Schierke and Elend, a path leads over the Mauseklippe to the Schnarcherklippen.
