The old Gaußturm was built in 1911 and has always been a popular excursion destination. Over the years, basalt mining was also carried out directly below the tower. As a result, the first cracks appeared on the tower as early as the 1950s. In 1963, the building collapsed due to loosening of the ground. After a ruling by the Celle Higher Regional Court, the basalt factory was obliged to build a new building. The new Gaußturm was completed in 1964.

Gauss Tower on Hoher Hagen

Highlight • Monument

The observation tower is unfortunately not accessible at the moment (April 2024). The elevator is broken.

The fantastic operators of the kiosk at the foot of the tower are there on Sundays from 11 a.m. and are open. It is worth taking a break there - but check beforehand whether they are actually open. Lack of staff and / or bad weather are sometimes a reason for them not being open.

View of the Leine Valley and the Brocken

Highlight • Viewpoint

With good visibility the resin with the chunk can be clearly seen. The chunk was created by C.F. Aiming from Gauss from Hohen Hagen, as well as the Große Inselsberg in Thuringia and all three together gave the largest triangle of its degree measurements.

Above the Hägerhof Hoya. From here there is a wonderful view of the Leinetal. With a very good view even up to the Harz with the chunk.
