Heinrich Cotta, the founder of the Forest Botanical Garden, gave this viewpoint his name and considered it the most beautiful in the region. His grave is near the viewpoint, surrounded by 80 oak trees that were planted by his students for his 80th birthday. The stone platform invites you to linger and enjoy the view.
