At 76.8 meters, the Boxberg is not the highest elevation in the Aukrug Nature Park, but it is one of the few moraine peaks in central Holstein that deserves the name "mountain." The Itzespitze, at 83.4 meters, is even higher than the Boxberg. Today, only a few beech trees grow on the grounds of the Boxberg recreational forest.

Hardly anyone knows the Itzespitze, located on the road between Hennstedt and Aukrug. The Itzespitze is the highest mountain (83.4 meters) in the district of Steinburg - SH. At the summit cross there is a summit book in which you can sign. The summit cross is very easy to reach from the car park below in 10 steps. You can also see the cross from the car park.

Here is the Itzespitze, the highest elevation or "mountain" in the Aukrug Nature Park. However, you have to search a lot for the cross, because (at least now in December) it disappears very much between the trees.

The Itzespitze is an elevation on the L121 between Aukrug and Hennstedt. With a height of 83.4 m, it is the highest elevation in the district of Steinburg and in the Aukrug Nature Park. The previously unnamed elevation got its name during a Father's Day outing in 1998 by members of the German Alpine Club. Press and television reported humorously about the first ascent of the highest point in the district of Steinburg, where a summit cross and a climbing aid were attached. In 2018 the name was included in the topographical map of the state surveying office. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itzespitze

I would rather not plan the picnic on the summit because it is often too windy here.
