Tips
Interesting read, just make a quick stop on the way up. Many elevations here are former volcanoes, including the mountain cone of Veste Heldburg.

This panel vividly explains the formation of the Straufhain. The geological outcrop is located right next to it and is unfortunately somewhat overgrown. Otherwise, it's really very interesting. There are several other basalt cones of this type in the area, including the Heldburg Fortress and the Gleichberge Mountains, which bear witness to past volcanic activity.
