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").
