Birkenberg

At 533.4 metres above sea level, the Birkenberg is the highest summit of the Ohmgebirge, a forested hill range in the Eichsfeld district of northern Thuringia. The Ohmgebirge sits within the Eichsfeld cultural landscape, tucked between the Thuringian Forest and the Harz mountains. The summit is reached via marked hiking trails and rewards walkers with views across the wooded, gently rolling countryside of northern Thuringia. It serves as a straightforward day-hike destination for visitors and residents of Leinefelde-Worbis looking for quiet forest trails and a modest but satisfying high point.
