Geography
It lies about 3 kilometres northeast of the town of Herzberg am Harz and its north and northwest slopes drop steeply into the valley of the Sieber. Towards the east it transitions into the Höxterberg. The Steile Wand is entirely wooded; on the steep north side with conifers and on the crest of the ridge and its south side with deciduous woods. There is an old quarry on its steep northwest slope.

If nature was nice and kind, they would magically turn down their breeding. As is quite obvious in retrospect, evolutionary processes would *never do this* and they cannibalized each other's young.
