Heldrastein, Mountain summit in Wartburgkreis, Germany.
The Heldrastein reaches an elevation of 503.8 meters and features limestone cliffs rising above the surrounding Thuringian landscape near Treffurt.
The mountain area contained military installations during the Cold War period, with restricted access until 1996 when it became a public observation point.
The former surveillance post has been converted into the Tower of Unity, displaying exhibitions about the German division and border infrastructure.
Multiple marked hiking trails of varying difficulties lead to the summit, with the main parking area located at the intersection of route L2109.
From the observation platform, visitors can see the Brocken mountain, Inselsberg peak, and Hoher Meißner across three German federal states.
