From Kurpark Bad Suderode the way is quite steep, from the other direction it is a bit more relaxed. But the way is worth it. The view is wonderful.

Lessinghöhle — Mine Entrances

Highlight • Structure

The Lessing Cave, first mentioned in 1546, is a nice place to raster and a nice photo opportunity. Today it serves as a retreat for bats and other animal species that are worthy of protection.

From Bad Suderode via the Prussian Tower and the old border road between Prussia and Anhalt.
The way is great to commit. The stones are a pleasure for the eyes

Prussia-Anhalt Border Stones

Highlight • Monument

Coming from Gerenrode, the border route Prussia-Anhalt leads through beautiful deciduous forest to the cliff Anhaltinischer Saalstein (HWN 186). To the right and left of the path are the old boundary stones.

Very impressive the well-preserved Grenzgraben with both sides received and numbered landmarks. Like the border guards, Anhaltiners and Prussians face each other. The last border revision was not until 1912.
