The viewing point on P16, where you should definitely plan a break and enjoy the fascinating view of the Eichsfeld and the distant horizon. In autumn, a colorful spectacle awaits you here.

Highest elevation sounds worse than it is. Once you are on the Kolonnenweg, the climb is quite easy.

Great view which is of course even better in winter. When descending on some parts of the route, however, it is very slippery. In the morning everything is frozen rock hard and then the sun shines and it thaws on the surface. Then it's a slide.

This highlight is on the premium hiking trail 16 (P16). From here you have a wonderful view over the forests and mountains. It is certainly most beautiful in spring and summer, when the trees are blooming in beautiful green, as well as in golden autumn with colorful foliage.

Apparently, the point marked with the stone and plaque is NOT the highest elevation: you can see it about 160 meters further towards the column path

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.
