Bilstein, Mountain summit in Kaufunger Wald, Germany
The Bilstein reaches an elevation of 641.2 meters, making it the second highest mountain peak in the Kaufunger Wald region after Hirschberg.
In 1869, local authorities constructed a wooden observation tower at the summit, which was later replaced by a stone structure called Bilsteinturm in 1891.
The mountain area contains multiple marked hiking paths, including the Frau-Holle-Pfad and Herkulesweg, connecting visitors to regional folklore and outdoor traditions.
The Bilstein summit can be reached through forest trails from the nature parking area, with a walking distance of approximately 2.5 kilometers on gravel paths.
From the 20-meter observation tower, visitors can see the Brocken mountain in the Harz region, the city of Göttingen, and numerous peaks across central Germany.
