Shelter at Kleiner Fallstein with a view of Bühne and Rhoden

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The refuge rightly bears its name. If you are surprised by the bad weather, you can shelter here and enjoy the view of the Brocken - if it is there - the view. The information panels "Hike Connects", little Fallstein, show the six partial routes. One of them is the Osterwiecker circuit through the southern Fallstein, which can also be used to extend the large circular route “Hiking connects”. The forest restaurant “Willeckes Lust”, the guesthouse and excursion restaurant “Fallsteinklause” and the hotel and restaurant “Waldhaus” offer refreshment opportunities.

On the ridge of the small Fallstein you drive along the old Kollonnenweg, pass the border watchtower and can slip through a gap in the border fence. The facilities have been preserved, there is a nice rest area at the border fence and a lot of information about the history.

Rhoden Inner German Border Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

The inner-German border has changed the landscape - even in the small Fallstein. In 1975, a border tower was built southwest of the village of Rhoden and the ridge was cut down. Today nature has brought back the ridge. Only the border tower still stands in the same place and reminds of the division of Germany and life in the then "border village" Rhoden. You can find out more about it on the information boards.
The tower is located on the “Green Belt”, which is an almost 1400 km long strip of land along the former inner-German border and invites you to hike or cycle on quiet border paths and former convoy paths.

Sola Fide – Angel of Faith Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The sculpture "Sola Fide" - angel of the dormer - was created by the sculptor Magnus Klein-Tebbe. It is part of the art project for the anniversary "500 Years Reformation / Luther 2017".
Sola Fide portrays Martin Luther's principle “By faith alone” as a mixture of people and angels. “We humans are like angels with only one wing. If we hug, we can fly ”- says Magnus Kleine-Tebbe.
