The Stellerskuppe is revived by the Eisenbergsteig. Previously (before my time) a popular destination with a tower, later used as a quarry, a bunker and foundations are still visible.

The formation of the summit is very interesting - one inevitably thinks of a crater. An interesting contribution to this place I found at geocaching.com/geocache/GC6FC5B_stellerskuppe?guid=657c441b-9c08-4921-b939-4d1ffa754b56.

Before the Second World War, the Stellerskuppe was a popular tourist destination In 1937, a 40m high wooden observation tower was built Drinks were served here on the weekends, but after the war in 1939, the festivities were over, and after the war, the tower was decrepit and had to be demolished, but today nothing is left, as the Americans staged maneuvers in the 80s Today it is very quiet, only the nearby A7 can be heard. The route leads over a gravel dirt road and is about 1.5 km back to the parking lot. [...] "
