Nice view, but nothing special. There are better places.

A good opportunity to take a break with a view. 360° all-round view with some information about other heathland landscapes in Germany. Access to the hill is barrier-free via a ramp and stairs.

Nice view over the heather in the area, especially worthwhile during the heather bloom. Display boards show the distance and highlights to / from other heathland landscapes (Hohes Venn, Lüneburg Heath etc.)

Unfortunately, the lookout point was so overgrown that you couldn't see much. But the information boards about various pagans are very well done

A slightly elevated viewing point with a number of information boards not only about the Drover Heath but also about other heathlands such as the High Fens, the Teveren Heath or the well-known Lüneburg Heath.
There are several benches on the viewing hill where you can sit and enjoy the wonderful landscape. You should definitely take a few minutes here.

Around 120 hectares of the total area are the actual heath areas, 290 hectares are forest areas, 150 hectares are fenced and are grazed by cattle and goats so that the heath is kept short (decussing). In addition to Scottish highland cattle, goats such as the Thuringian Forest goat are particularly suitable for keeping birch, heather and juniper trees short.

Wonderful heathland. The paths are easy to walk on. Unfortunately quite crowded on the weekend.

The vantage point is great, I think it's very nice that the other pagans were also described there.

This is well done, a raised platform, circular, with information boards about all the large and important heaths in Germany
