Viktorshöhe

Viktorshöhe is a mountain summit reaching approximately 582 meters within the Ramberg massif of the Harz range in Saxony-Anhalt. The peak is crossed by walking paths and features several dining facilities at different elevations.

Prince Victor Frederick built the first hunting lodge on the mountain in 1750, along with a small well house and observation tower. These initial structures laid the foundation for the site's later development as a public destination.

The mountain served as a private hunting ground for nobility and gradually transformed into a public destination during the 1800s. Today visitors of all kinds make their way up to enjoy the summit and its facilities.

The mountain is accessible via multiple walking paths ranging from 4 to 15 kilometers with varying difficulty levels. Visitors should prepare for different trail conditions depending on the chosen route and season.

The mountain retains remnants of a 1970s holiday complex scattered across the peak with abandoned buildings and scattered furniture. These leftovers reveal how the site evolved as a tourist destination over the decades.
