    The green Birkenkopf is a 599.8 meter high mountain in the southern Harz. It is located near Ilfeld-Birkenmoor in the Nordhausen district in Thuringia. On nice days you have a fantastic view from up here.

      You can see a lot of deforested former forest.

        Unfortunately, there are almost no trees left on Birkenkopf.
        Only two extremely bare, narrow birches to the right and left of the path.
        The rest is still very messy, but you can see small conifers trying to grow.
        Hopefully they'll make it!

          The rest is still scattered. But there are small conifers growing there that want to grow.
          Hopefully, they'll make it!
