The center of the South Harz Karst Landscape Biosphere Reserve houses a pavilion from which you can enjoy one of the most impressive views in the region. The view sweeps over the foothills of the southern Harz to Kyffhäuser. Our tip: Try to find human dwellings from here. Apart from the Kyffhäuser monument, the tower and the wind turbines, you can hardly see any towns. With such open space, a rarity in Germany unless you are in the high Alps.

Hiking

Here you have a very nice view to the south of the Kyffhäuser, which is Germany's smallest low mountain range. Depending on the lighting conditions, it looks a bit contourless. Only when hiking from the north or from the Golden Aue does it become apparent how rugged the northern slopes rise from the plain. Not only the castle and the monument but the entire ridge is a very worthwhile excursion destination and worth more than a hike.
