I once explained why such an expensive viewpoint was built there – because it's anything but pointless. The depression you can see there is about 15,000 years old and was formed by the melting of the pack ice underground. And to prevent some lunatics – of which there are more than enough in the population – each one more lunatic, more deranged, and more mentally ill than the next, from bathing in it, polluting and filthy everything, urinating in it every time, and throwing parties – to prevent it from ending up looking like a typical illegal dump – the whole thing was fenced off – which is still much too low – precisely to prevent this outstanding historical landmark from becoming an illegal garbage dump and a public urinal thanks to these psychos. This elevated platform was built so that people can still view this depression that was formed around 15,000 years ago. Ah yes, they could have easily installed a bench on the platform – then people could sit and linger there for a longer break in the height of summer – but there isn't a bench anywhere, not even next to it. But presumably, after installing just such a simple bench, the trash and filth around it would quickly accumulate, thanks to those aforementioned lunatics who would leave their garbage there in massive quantities. As we all know, illegal dumps always have a life of their own – they just get bigger every day.

Very beautiful route. Hardly any traffic in the morning, but a few riders around midday/afternoon.

Pretty old mill, events also take place there

The hiking trail "Hamburg's 2nd Green Ring" also leads along here. All information about the Green Ring can be found under the following link: www.hamburg.de/wandern-im-gruenen/4473724/wandern-im-gruenen-hintergrund (as of October 31, 2024).

Great stretch of road and a nice place for a little break

As part of the “Große Heide Landscape Development” project, the new 1.70 m high viewing platform was opened in February 2023. It cost “only” €27,447.09 and offers a view of the landscape and the meadow pond, which provides an important feeding and resting place for many bird species. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/extra_3/Realer-Irrsinn-Verrueckte-Aussichtsplattform-in-Hamburg-Stapelfeld,extra21698.html On October 9, 2024, the viewing platform made it into the Black Book. https://www.schwarzbuch.de/aufgedeckt/steuergeldverschwendung-alle-faelle/details/ausguck-auf-augenhoehe The “Große Heide” landscape development has changed the entire area between Rahlstedt, Stapelfeld and Barsbüttel a lot. In sub-project 2, the old path through the moor was closed and there is now a circular path around the Stapelfelder Moor, as well as numerous signposts and information boards. The new "visitor guidance" is unfortunately neither relaxing nor enjoyable for me.

Nice dirt road without many potholes

You would have the view even without the tower.
