    Tips

    April 2, 2018

    The Kiekeberg was already a popular destination for day trippers and hikers in the imperial era. Until the end of the Second World War, the Bismarck Tower was located on the elevation to commemorate Otto von Bismarck.

    Today you can find the open-air museum on the Kiekeberg, the Gasthof Kiekeberg and the Black Mountains wildlife park. A HVV bus drives to the Kiekeberg from Hamburg-Harburg.

      Well known, but not a big highlight to photograph

        In addition to the highest elevation in the city, the Harburg mountains offer a lot more: In the open-air museum on the Kiekeberg in Rosengarten-Ehestorf, visitors have the opportunity to visit historical buildings and gardens, take part in special campaign days or attend concerts. The open-air museum also has a lot to offer for younger visitors. Depending on the season, children can work, do handicrafts or build. On eleven weekends between April and October, the museum brings centuries-old crafts back to life.

            It's worth going up to the stone

              There is no direct route over the "mountain", but you should turn off briefly and visit it. Unfortunately, there is no further view through the dense forest. In addition to the official surveying markings, there is also a historical surveying stone on the mountain, which offers a much better photo opportunity.

                On the mountain there is a memorial stone to the European survey of 1868.

                    The Kiekeberg in Vahrendorf in the Lower Saxony district of Harburg is 127 m above sea level. NHN after the Langen Stein (129 m) the second highest elevation of the Harburg hill country belonging to the Luheheide. Until 1945 there was a lookout tower here. (Source: Wikipedia)

                      The Kiekeberg in Vahrendorf in the Lower Saxony district of Harburg is 127.1 m above sea level. NHN after the Langen Stein (129 m) the second highest elevation of the Harburg hill country belonging to the Luheheide.
                      It rises 1.6 km southeast of the border between Lower Saxony and Hamburg. Its summit is 600 m northwest of the center of Vahrendorf, 850 m south-southwest of Ehestorf and 600 m east-southeast of Alvesen. The summit of the Langen Stein is about 430 m to the south-west.

                      The Kiekeberg was already a popular travel destination for day trippers and hikers in the imperial era.
                      In 1912 the Bismarck Tower was built on the Kiekeberg. In good weather, it offered a view of the whole of Hamburg. He could also be seen from a great distance. In April 1945, the Bismarck Tower was blown up by German troops. The purpose of the blast was to prevent British troops from using the tower as a shelling opportunity against Hamburg.

                      The attractiveness of the Kiekeberg for day trippers continued. It offers various excursion destinations through the open-air museum on the Kiekeberg, the Gasthof Kiekeberg and the nearby Wildpark Schwarze Berge. Since 2003, a bus from the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund has been driving to the Kiekeberg from Hamburg-Harburg.

                      Unfortunately, the summit itself is no longer particularly attractive these days and does not offer any beautiful views. From the path leading below, the summit stone can be seen at the top. If you don't know the summit, you would easily walk past it because it isn't signposted either. But it is the second highest elevation here in the region and in terms of history it is of course also a justified highlight.

                        The Bismarck Column once stood here.

                          The hiking trail "Schwarze Berge (W5)" also leads along here. All information about the hiking trail can be found under the following link: regionalpark-rosengarten.de/aktiv-und-erleben-2/wandern/wander-tour-schwarze-berge (as of September 22, 2024).
