Great Thekenberg

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful elevation along the ridge that leads from Langenstein to Quedlinburg. Up here you have a fantastic view in all directions. The heather that grows everywhere here blooms from July to September and gives the whole thing a special atmosphere.

A small note: Please stay on the paths to avoid unnecessary erosion and to preserve this landscape in its special beauty.

If you go back down, you should choose this section! Beautiful flora & fauna and you go around the mountain again.

It's a beautiful walk. Today, in the foggy weather, you could admire how nature was enchanted by the humidity. I definitely have to do the walk again when the heather is in bloom.
