The view is great, it stretches all the way to the Thuringian Forest. The boulder field of the Kleiner Gleichberg can be seen clearly.
You can find more pictures under the Thuringian View highlight.

Summit of Großer Gleichberg

Highlight • Summit

The climb up to the plateau is strenuous, but the view from above makes up for the effort. You can look towards Franconia (Bavaria) or towards Kleiner Gleichberg (Thuringia). This is where the viewpoints get their name from.

The hawk's pulpit is located in front of the Frankenblick and a little below it. It can only be reached via a staircase, so it is not possible by mountain …

The ascent is definitely worth it for this breathtaking view! You can look towards Hassberge and Fichtelgebirge.

Celtic Adventure Trail

Highlight • Trail

Many information boards on the early historical settlements line the path. And otherwise the path through the forest is very nice to hike.

June 15, 2025,Von Waldhaus zum Großen und Kleinen Gleichberg
Today's stamp tour took us to the Gleichberg Mountains, remnants of volcanic cones made of basalt rock, near Römhild. From the hiking car park at the Hotel Waldhaus, which is unfortunately closed on weekends, we first went to the Großer Gleichberg. Above the Steinsburg Museum, we turned towards the Thüringen Blick, thus choosing the easy route. There's not much to …

Yesterday we climbed the Gleichberge. Thank goodness most of the hike was in the shade, but even then it was actually too hot for that. But the views made up for all the efforts. Our home is simply uniquely beautiful.

A tour first to the small Gleichberg and then to the large Gleichberg. There are beautiful views in all directions. The forests are full of a variety of spring flowers.
Thanks to Barbara, @Winni, and @earny from earncastle 🦋🥾🌿 for the wonderful company.
Best wishes also to @Denes.

May 26, 2025,Magische Orte 💚
For me, the Gleichberge Mountains are a magical place that draws me back again and again at regular intervals.
Perhaps it's the history, but even more so the scenic charm.
Whether it's the Thuringian View, the Rhön View, or the Franconian View, I don't know of any other place with comparable panoramic views. 💚🥾💚

I would like to thank Martin and his two boys for this great day.
I was invited to join us on today's tour.
It finally worked out again.
We hiked up the big Gleichberg in a nice and relaxed manner, always chatting and yet still keeping our eyes on the lookout for a rabbit or deer to scurry across the …

Somehow a deja vu. And a particularly beautiful one at that, lots of mysticism, lots of history and lots of landscape. For me one of the most beautiful and special mountains in all of Thuringia. Very similar to the hike directly before on the Öchsen. Celts and quarries, which unfortunately destroyed much of the existing Celtic substance.
