A great bench for a break at the Gauss Tower memorial on Litberg. Several seating options are available here.

At 65 meters above sea level, the Litberg is the highest elevation in the Stade district. The Gauß observation tower is located in the middle of the forest. Climbing 133 steps, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. Plenty of benches invite you to linger, and there are swings for children.

A must for a hamburger. Beautiful.

A small hill in the middle of the North German plain with historical importance. The Litberg is near Sauensiek, surrounded by Beckdorf and Goldbeck at a height of 65 meters above sea level. From the nearby country road, the first thing that catches your eye is the Gauss Tower standing on the mountain. It towers a few meters above the trees on the Litberg and, when visibility is good, you can see as far as Hamburg. But more on the view later. “Gauß-Turm” because the tower is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. In 1821 Gauss was supposed to survey the Kingdom of Hanover and was faced with the problem of only having a few viewpoints available. The age of satellites had not yet begun and so Gauss had to make use of natural or artificial elevations to target further survey points.

The tower with a height of 25 meters offers a beautiful all-round view over the Geest landscape after the "ascent". The Moorburg coal-fired power plant, the Hamburg district of Blankenese and the Harburg mountains are clearly visible from here. A little side note for visitors with acrophobia, those who don't like "transparent" trellis steps will need to look ahead or up to the top level. The viewing platform itself is laid out with wooden planks and there is also a bench to sit on. If it is not too windy, you can enjoy the view very well.

A varied hiking area awaits you south of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, with the well-known Harburg Mountains, also known as the Black Mountains, and the Heidschnuckenweg, northern Germany's only "quality hiking trail that can be hiked in Germany". The regional park offers Hamburgers a fascinating natural area, ideal as a day trip with good transport connections. The half-day or day tours lead over mountains, through forests, heathland, fields and meadows and offer young and old a variety of experiences along the way. Refreshment stops and rest areas along the tours also ensure that your physical well-being is not neglected.

The summit is on the edge of the forest and offers a beautiful view of the heath next to a table and benches.
