"#12 of the "Sixteen Summits" of the German states. The summit lies in a beautiful moist forest that was tinted in autumn colors. The biggest challenge was getting there and finding the way to the top from Woldegk." — Adrian • Oct 31, 2017

"I stayed in Seefeld Austria, got up 3:00 am, taxi 4:00 am ( 70 euros ) to the Olympic stadium in Garmisch. 04:34 am start 01:26 pm summit approximately 2300m of assent cable car, and train down train from Garmisch to Seefeld 9 euros perfect weather, clear sky's, an absolutely magnificent day.

"Finally hiked up the highest mountain of my home state Lower Saxony. Not a nice peak: it used to be a nature protection area, but that was abolished in favour of tourism. Now there are several cable cars going up to the top, snow cannons all around and a big artificial lake near the summit of the mountain. While walking the paths through the forest you get a little paranoid because of all the downhill bikers appear out of nowhere rushing toward the valley with full speed. Wouldn't recommend this except you're interested in conflicts between nature and tourism, hikers and bikers or want to have a good view towards the nearby Brocken." — Adrian • May 3, 2014

"Long hike from Oberhof station to Ilmenau over the Beerberg. Going as close to the summit as possible without breaking the law. The peak itself is closed for public due to nature protection. Seven-Summits peak #7 for me (highest point of Thuringia)." — Adrian • Dec 30, 2013
