From the freely accessible 20 m high observation tower Aschberg enjoys a 360° panoramic view over the treetops. In the north you can discover Schleswig.

On the summit there is a green and yellow pole behind a wildlife fence. Hardly worth it, even the short detour.

A 30 m long branch path leads from the hiking trail towards the summit. Here you stop at a wildlife fence. Behind it a green-yellow pole marks the summit.

At 106m the highest elevation in the nature park - at the top only a yellow stick in a delimited piece of forest as a marking.

October 19, 2022, Scheelsberg Summit

The highest elevation in the Hüttener Berge is the Scheelsberg near Ascheffel at 105.8 m. It is easy to reach until just before the summit. Unfortunately, the "summit" itself is unspectacular, fenced in and so densely overgrown that you have no views. But it is the highest elevation here and therefore of course a highlight.
