Hiking parking lot above Grandenborn. Ideal starting point for the P13 premium trail or for a short walk to the Boyneburg (approx. 1.6 km from here).

The viewpoint has become so overgrown that the view is unfortunately no longer very pleasant. You can still see the town of Reichensachsen and the new motorway bridge, but that's about it. At least there's a nice rest area there, and the wonderful, rustic beech forests are especially worth a visit.

A very beautiful panoramic terrace at Schwalbenthal. Cold drinks, coffee, and fresh cake are billed as a trust-based donation to the preservation of Schwalbenthal. From the terrace, surrounded by greenery, you can enjoy views across the entire Werra Valley all the way to the Großer Inselsberg in Thuringia.

From the Hohe Süß, we can see the Thuringian Forest with the Inselsberg and Wartburg Castle. Even today, Süß reflects its unspoiled, rural character. The name Süß comes from the Old High German word "siazza," meaning settlement or pasture, and indicates its great antiquity.

The slag heap originally consisted of three houses: the still-existing, vacant "Haus Halde" from 1755 (base renewed in 1905, timber framing renewed in 1978, roof insulated in 2012), a second house that was demolished in the 1960s, and a horse stable, of which relatively little is known. The foremen lived in these houses, who oversaw mining in the Schwalbenthaler Erbstollen and the Carlsstollen and accounted for the extracted coal. The foundations of the wooden log cabin of the Eschwege Scouts (Silver Foxes) and the horse stable are still in place; the tunnels were secured in 2002.

The so-called Halde, a depression, lies 1,000 meters from the Schwalbenthal valley. The house is still preserved here. The entrance to the New Erbstollen (New Heritage Tunnel) is also located there. This drainage tunnel was excavated in 1628.

The Boyneburg estate was first mentioned in documents in 1460. The Boyneburg estate farm offers interesting views and photo opportunities. From here or via the Boyneburg estate there are many interesting hiking tours (to the Boyneburg castle ruins, towards Datterode, etc.) that can be combined with this highlight.
