베라-마이스너-크라이스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

Unspectacular but highest point of the mountain 😉

From the Kalbe summit, the path continues to a boulder field. From there, the panoramic view is even more extensive than from the surrounding vantage points. While there are no benches or shade, this spot is still ideal for a scenic break. I would have liked to mark this spot on the map, but Komoot prohibits it. For whatever reason.

In Carl-Christoph Schmieder's Frau Holle stories, Frau Holle transforms drunken young men into calves and then lets them graze on the "Kalbe" (calf). Before the open-cast lignite mining, there really was a large meadow there. The name "Kalbe" can be explained geologically: the mountain calves, meaning large boulders of basalt broke off from the plateau and piled up on the slope. Or quite simply: bare spot. The viewpoint at 720 m above sea level can only be reached on foot from the Frau Holle Pond via the Kalbe Trail or the Eulenstieg Trail. It is also located on the P1 Hoher Meißner premium trail.

At 753 m above sea level, it is the highest elevation of the Hoher Meißner.

Here at the summit cross there is also a summit book to sign 😊! Great!

Historical survey pillar from 1878: In the Kingdom of Prussia, between 1875 and 1895, under the leadership of the general and geodata scientist Oskar Schreiber (1829 - 1905), an exemplary main triangle network with a previously unknown high quality was set up. This was later expanded to the German main triangle network (DHDN), which for over 100 years formed the geodetic basis for the official property cadastre and for the topographical survey in Germany. The first main triangle point in Hesse was established in 1878 on the 750 m high Meissner. The marking was carried out with a +3.5 m high and three-tiered mighty monument made of red sandstone. A metal bolt on the top of the upper sandstone pillar marks the location center. The monument on the Meissner from 1878 is the largest surveying pillar in Hesse. It was entered into the monument register in 1985 because of its historical significance.

Summit cross with entry book :D
