"#1 in in Sachsen-Anhalt state of Germany. #4 in Germany state HP list. Nice walk on the well marked trail. I started from Schierke, so it was ~12 horizontal km and about 500 vertical metres. There are plenty of alternative routes to chose. Including train, which can bring you to very the top.. Due heavy fog, visibility was max 20 meters. So it is hard to tell what is visible from top... However on the peak you can find nice done 'arrows' to selected europe cities with a distances. " — Deividas • Sep 26, 2013
