ゲルシュトゥンゲンの絶景の山頂・トップ18

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 Milmesberg offers an excellent view of the northwestern Thuringian Forest and the Vorderrhön. In direct view of the Wartburg, it almost became a "victim" of a wind farm. The citizens' initiative and the community were able to prevent this. In an old Eckardtshäuser land register (Thuringian State Archives Weimar), made in 1692 by the teacher Georg Bärenklau, the Milmesberg is still called Wilmsberg. During a new survey of the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar-Eisenach (1898) by the Royal Prussian State Survey of Berlin, the Milmesberg and its height were also redetermined (461.4 m). A trigonometric point (small wooden pyramid) was built at the highest point in the field of the then owner Gustav Niebergall. He was told not to damage the pyramid, for which he received three marks a year in rent. (…from information board)

Beautiful view of “Monte Cali” and the Wartburg.

Great view from Monte Kali over the Hoher Meißner to the Wartburg.

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.
