At 65 meters above sea level, the Litberg is the highest elevation in the Stade district. The Gauß observation tower is located in the middle of the forest. Climbing 133 steps, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. Plenty of benches invite you to linger, and there are swings for children.

The tower with a height of 25 meters offers a beautiful all-round view over the Geest landscape after the "ascent". The Moorburg coal-fired power plant, the Hamburg district of Blankenese and the Harburg mountains are clearly visible from here. A little side note for visitors with acrophobia, those who don't like "transparent" trellis steps will need to look ahead or up to the top level. The viewing platform itself is laid out with wooden planks and there is also a bench to sit on. If it is not too windy, you can enjoy the view very well.
