At 625 meters above sea level, the Dunkelstein is the highest point in the southern Dunkelstein Forest. An iron high stand was erected near the summit in 1931 for the purpose of surveying. This was blown up by the German Wehrmacht in 1945. The concrete foundations and remnants of the latticework can still be seen today not far from the summit cross.
