クラウトハウゼンの絶景の山頂・トップ14

For centuries, the Hessian-Thuringian state border has run across the summit region of the Kielforst, with a section of border stones dating back to the 16th century. During the Cold War, it was part of the former inner-German border; however, its death strip ran about 500 m east of the summit region; only a narrow border control path was built along the current border.

The Drachenstein offers a wonderful view towards Inselsberg and Hörselberg. It is located on the wine route between “Hohe Sonne” and “Mosbacher Linde”.

Super beautiful old buildings with lots of history.

The Kahle Berg is climbed during a hike on the P21. More precisely, a short and crisp ascent path that makes it clear which geological rock layer you are hiking on. A barren, reddish-colored stone hill, with sparse grasses and bushes. You should take the detour to the edge of the hill and enjoy the beautiful view.

The Kahler Berg is called "kahl" for a reason: it is a nutrient-poor Keuperhügel on which only undemanding herbs and grasses grow, which, however, have become very rare these days. This makes this hill a geological feature.

The mountain is not that bare at the top, the way up here is definitely worth it. Both observation towers can be seen, point india and border tower Ifta (BT6 4x4) "A geological feature is the Keuper hill Kahler Berg near Ifta. Only undemanding herbs and grasses grow on the nutrient-poor Keuper, which have become very rare today. You will find a retreat here." ↗nature parkfrauholle.land

The short climb is worth it. From here, depending on the vantage point, you have a view of OP Point India (US or FRG side, today Hesse) and the Ifta border tower (GDR side, today Thuringia).

The inner courtyard is well worth seeing with the Palas, the cistern, its half-timbered buildings and the medieval castle garden. Everything is renovated and beautifully prepared.
