Hiking Highlight
After the Second World War and during the period of German division, the mountain was in the GDR border restricted area and was therefore no longer accessible to the population from 1952. In 1996, the tower of the former monitoring system was converted into an observation tower, the tower of the unit. Connected with this is a refuge and an exhibition about the border installations, which can be visited all year round. From the Heldrastein you can enjoy a beautiful view.

The varied trails, sometimes uphill and then downhill again. At the Heldrastein, view over the entire Werra valley. Grandiose

Lots of information with pictures about German history. The steep climb was worth it for this great view, even if you don't go up the tower.
