The "new" King's Fir is a silver fir, officially designated as the successor to the original King's Fir in 2006. It is about 80 years younger than its predecessor. The original King's Fir, a symbol of the municipality of Wingst and even part of its coat of arms, was planted in 1777 and fell victim to a storm in 1949. ​The new King's Fir is located about 600 meters south of the site of the original tree. With a height of around 38 meters and a trunk circumference of 3.9 meters, it is an impressive sight.

At approximately 74 meters above sea level, the Silberberg is the highest natural elevation in the Wingst region and the entire Elbe-Weser triangle. At the summit, you'll find a memorial plaque commemorating the legend of the giant family "Wingis," a historic Gauss stone, a bench, a summit cross, and a summit book. The area around the Silberberg is part of the Wingst Forest, which includes nature reserves such as the Balksee lake, the Quellental valley, and moors. Many signposted circular trails lead around the Silberberg.

In spring 2025, a summit cross was installed and visitors can sign a summit book.

Water supply (drinking water) 24/7 free and outside ;-)

Imposing tree, but I probably wouldn't have noticed it without the plaque. Nice to see how history is maintained here.

You can't see far from the highest point in the district of Cuxhaven. But it's still worth a visit. There are a few benches for resting at the summit.

Path with cross-country character through the Hasenbecktal.

On the Silberberg you can read a story about a huge family that tells how the mountain got its name. Also very nice resting place.
