    Hiking

    The earliest records refer to the mountain as Galgenberg after the place of execution that was located there. From the Seven Years' War until about 1880, the name Achtlindenberg was in use after the linden tree roundel on the summit, which had been planted there at that time.

    The Götzingerhöhe was then named after the local historian Wilhelm Leberecht Götzinger, who lived in Neustadt and was the first to describe this view and the entire area in detail. A granite block with a plaque and a watercolor in the restaurant are reminiscent of him today.
