I basically and completely agree with the above commentators, many of the pictures confirm this. However, I am a little surprised at how thoughtlessly some people upload their photos 😩. In my opinion, there are two hiking highlights at this point, a few meters apart:
No. 1 "Hochmoorblick" with a bench, information board and a really beautiful view of the raised moor
No. 2 "Ernst-Ludwig-Fischer-Buche" with a bench, beech tree with a name board and also a beautiful view of the moor
Unfortunately, pictures of both highlights can also be found in the other 👎.

The quickest way to get there is from the Heide car park. Simply follow the left forest path slightly downhill, you come to two benches that are 20-30 meters apart. On the upper bench there is also an information board about the raised bog. If you continue on the path you will come to the Geiselstein junction (rock formation) and the Goldwiese.
