The highest point in Thuringia is the Great Beerberg. It is 983 meters high. A little below the summit there is a viewing platform that offers a great view over the Thuringian Forest.

It's not a "real" peak, but at 982.9 meters it is the highest point in the Thuringian Forest.

Until the end of the 1980s, during the GDR era, there was a viewing tower right on the summit. This has now been torn down because access to the summit is no longer permitted. The background is that one of the last rainfed bogs in the Thuringian Forest lies at the summit and is particularly protected as a nature reserve.

The Great Beerberg is a remnant of a volcano that was active over 250 million years ago and is 982.9 m above sea level. NHN [1] the highest elevation in the Thuringian Forest and Thuringia. It is located between the three Suhl districts of Heidersbach, Goldlauter and Gehlberg and consists of rhyolite ("quartz porphyry").

The Great Beerberg is the highest mountain in the Thuringian Forest. Also a top destination for inexperienced hikers, as it can be reached easily and conveniently from the Suhler Hütte. Plänckner's view is breathtaking. A small beautiful path finally leads up to the summit moor.

As a Thuringian you have to have been. ABSOLUTELY. And so is the rest of the world anyway

The highest point in Thuringia is somewhat inconspicuous in the middle of the forest or in the high moor.

983 m above sea level NN; no distant view from here, Plänckner's view nearby is ideal for this ⛰️👍

At the highest point in Thuringia you are usually all alone, most hikers stay on the Rennsteig and do without the summit.

Wikipedia knows: "The Great Beerberg is a remnant of a volcano that was active more than 250 million years ago and, at 982.9 m above sea level, is the highest elevation in the Thuringian Forest and Thuringia."

I had actually imagined a scenic mountain when I hiked there. But the Great Beerberg is quite unspectacular at first glance, you don't even have a great view from here. However, here is one of the few preserved raised bogs in the Thuringian Forest, which is also under protection - so this mountain is somehow special.
