키르히간데른‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산 정상

A beautiful viewing point with a table and benches.

Arrived at the top, the ascent from Lindewerra is not to be scoffed at!

Coming from Hanstein Castle on the way to the Teufelskanzel, you have 2 options. The steep path on the right leads to the highest point of the Höhenberg, the Junkerkuppe. It is 511 m above sea level.

Great view to the north-west to Göttingen with Osterberg and to the north-east over the Reinhäuser Forest, the same, the Eschenberg and in the background the Harz Mountains.

Another beautiful view awaits the hiker at the Elisabethhöhe. The focus here is on the beautiful district of Rengelrode in Heiligenstadt and the Rengelröder waiting room.

The first castle on the Rusteberg was first mentioned in a document in 1123, but was already destroyed again in 1160. Subsequent buildings and extensions by the archbishops of Mainz were carried out from the 12th century. In 1749 and 1750 the administration built Rusteberg Castle. In connection with this, the demolition of the previously intact castle began in order to use the stones as building material.

If you have already reached the top, you should definitely visit BOTH summits. On the "Alte Gleichen" you can see a little more of the former castle. For this you have benches and a shelter to rest on the "Neue Gleichen". From both peaks there are vantage points down to the valley.

What a view! The information board showing the towns and mountains in the region is also nice. The steep climb on the western flank is a sporting challenge. 👍😎
