    - Old castle -
    The old castle (or Alteburg), a basalt breakthrough, is at 445m above sea level the highest point of the Hörre ridge and was a prehistoric place of worship.

      Unfortunately there are no distant views from up here. Everything is too densely overgrown. But you should have been to the highest point of the Hörre at 445m above sea level - the "Old Castle" if you are already hiking in the Hörre.
