불카우‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산 정상

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.

Unfortunately, the old bench has now rotted away and the forest around it has been recently thinned out (2/2025).

At 63 meters, it is the second highest point in the Wingst after the nearby Silberberg.

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.

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.

Highest elevation in the Wingst. According to legend, it was made from stones that a giant dug out of the resin and, thanks to their silvery sheen, mistook for silver.

The Wingst obviously doesn’t skimp on superlatives. Anyone who thinks of Greek mythology when they hear the term "Olympus" is wrong. Of course, this has little to do with the seat of the ancient gods. But real 62 m above sea level are already Olympic dimensions for true "lowland Tyroleans" :-). You just have to be a little indulgent. Be that as it may: the view of Cuxhaven, Hamburg, the North-East Sea Canal, etc. is remarkable. Oh yes: the elevator in the tower is unfortunately still broken. But you can easily climb the 168 steps to enjoy the view. 2 euros p.p. but are currently to shell out for the ascent of the tower, if you cannot show a ticket for the zoo or other savings aids to reduce the entry price.
