Even in 2026, still a well-preserved and maintained hut, which is reminiscent of both the campaign under the motto: "Ilmenau plants the new forest", which began with reforestation on March 31, 2007, and of a small (alpine) ski shelter. The Lindenberg, which was severely affected by the hurricane Kyrill (2007), is apparently being replanted here with red beech, sycamore maple, Douglas fir, and silver fir with the help of Ilmenau's citizens under expert guidance. That gives courage!, a beautiful place to linger!

It's not to be missed. Enjoy the fantastic view and sign the summit book.

A great vantage point. It's a steep 200m climb from the trail below, but it's worth it. You shouldn't be afraid of heights, though; the stairs to the summit cross have 25 open steps, but the view from up there is fantastic. And there are interpretive panels in all directions. You can rest in the mountain hut.

Very interesting little house, the outer walls are filled with moss elements. Johann Heinrich Cotta is remembered here, and the section of the path also bears his name.
