The Goldene Höhe mountain inn was founded in 1844 as a simple refreshment stop on the summit of the Gohilg. The tenant Friedrich Traugott Baum later expanded it into a wooden house with a wonderful view. In 1864 a larger building with a hotel and restaurant was built. For many decades, the Golden Heights was a well-known and popular destination. After the cessation of passenger traffic on the Windbergbahn, the number of visitors decreased and the inn was closed in 1965. The building complex was officially closed in 1967 and later demolished. Nature has reclaimed the site

Although the industrious farmer is said to have had some envious people for this reason, he established himself there. After his Rippien farm had burned down, he created a new professional pillar by serving beer on the hill. In 1844 he began to build a wooden house, which was officially opened years later as the mountain inn "Zur Goldenen Höhe". The original garden restaurant was soon expanded to include a large hall and a central building with a viewing platform. But 150 years later there is nothing left of the once popular excursion restaurant.
