Hiking Highlight
On the Kickelhahn there is an observation tower from 1855, a Telekom tower, a transmission mast, the Goethe house, the foundations of a hunting lodge and a restaurant. The Jagdhaus Gabelbach and the Berghotel Gabelbach are south of the summit.

Who is first up! Goethe would be jealous of this prospect, he had to enjoy the view 24m lower, because there was not the tower in his time. Do you see the snow head?

- Currently and probably until September 2020 the tower is still scaffolded and therefore not accessible -
The trip there is still worth it, because the view is beautiful. The restaurant is open.

As of February 2020, the tower is unfortunately scaffolded and not accessible. But the climb is still nice and there is a great view. An inn takes care of your physical well-being.

If you have time and muse and the weather plays along, you should definitely watch a sunset or a sunrise. The view of the surrounding area is breathtaking for our low mountain range.
Definitely recommended. If available, also like to pack the binoculars. One or the other detail wants to be spotted.

Even though there is often a dreamlike outlook and distant view, the wind here is often not to be underestimated.

Also interesting is the replica of the hunting grounds of the Weimar dukes directly on the Kickelhahn.

Just arrive, sit down and relaxing. Even on cooler days, the sun warms on the Kickelhahn. In the local inn you get drinks and food.

The view from the Kickelhahnturm, which has finally been completely refurbished, is wonderful again.
Thank you that our landmark of Ilmenau is preserved with a lot of effort and effort. 🙏
Thanks to the new stairs, the ascent is very pleasant and the great view rewards it every time anew 👌
An absolute must for all nature fans.

A very beautiful view from up there. And in general you can also rest and relax there. A gastronomy is also on site.
