Kneipp Pool on Lukasberg

Highlight • Rest Area

Last year (2020) the water was turned off here. But it is a beautiful facility that can be easily reached from the Bösinghausen forest edge below. The formation of tufa on the water channels is interesting. When hiking through the Weisswassertal you can usually get good drinking water here. The next opportunity to do so is the Hördelbrunnen down the valley. To the southwest in the headwaters of the Weißwasserbach and the floodplains, good drinking water is scarce.

Foresters live dangerously. This monument is also the second of its kind along this route. A few meters further north, Förster Hemmers had an accident with his motorcycle. About 2 km further south on the slope of the Bühsteppe there is a memorial stone for a forest worker.

Großer Erdfall

Highlight • Natural Monument

Water can often be seen in this sinkhole. Sometimes it's just a small, shallow and boggy pond, at other times it's two ponds that are connected by a small trickle. Sinkfalls are more common in this area. They are caused by the washout of plaster in the subsurface.

A few meters north of the memorial stone for chief forester Jacobi is the memorial stone for chief forester Hemmers. He had an accident here in 1932. No cause of the accident is given. According to research, he had a fatal motorcycle accident here.

From this bench with an inclined table there is a wonderful view to the north over the village of Moseborn and its vaulted bakers. Unfortunately the bank is a bit rotten and mossy.
On the left are the Lippberge and on the right the view goes as far as the Brocken.

The picturesque path leads directly along the edge of the cliff. Very nice, but be careful!

Hünstollen Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hünstollen tower stands on the highest point of the Plessewald forest. In good weather, the tower offers a magnificent view of the western Harz Mountains and the Brocken.

Yesterday (January 4, 2021), I saw that the viewing platform was boarded up and the entire tower was also locked.

Update: The tower has reopened after renovations.

There used to be a small hut with refreshments here, but it was abandoned due to repeated vandalism.
