Hiking
The old Gaußturm was built in 1911 and has always been a popular excursion destination. Over the years, basalt mining was also carried out directly below the tower. As a result, the first cracks appeared on the tower as early as the 1950s. In 1963, the building collapsed due to loosening of the ground. After a ruling by the Celle Higher Regional Court, the basalt factory was obliged to build a new building. The new Gaußturm was completed in 1964.

Tower with closed restaurant on the Hohen Hagen near Dransfeld. Worthwhile goal with a lookout point for damage with a wide view from southeast to southwest!
