Viktorshöhe

Viktorshöhe, Mountain summit in Gernrode, Germany.

Viktorshöhe is a 581.5-metre granite summit in the Ramberg massif of the Harz, within Gernrode, part of Quedlinburg. The former guest house and forestry buildings stand empty and decaying, their scattered furniture visible. A wooden tower near the summit collapsed in November 2012; a transmission tower stands on the northeast flank.

Prince Victor Frederick had a hunting lodge built on the mountain in 1750, along with a small well house and a lookout tower. Over the following century, the area gradually opened to the public and became a destination for day visitors.

The hill is named after Prince Victor Frederick, who had a hunting lodge built beside a small well house here in 1750. The guest house that later served day trippers closed in 1990, and the empty buildings have since fallen into ruin, with furniture scattered around the site.

The summit can be reached by several walking paths of varying length, so it is worth choosing a route that matches your level. Trail conditions can change a lot depending on the season, and sturdy footwear is a good idea year-round.

Scattered across the summit are remnants of a holiday complex built in the 1970s, including abandoned buildings with furniture still inside. These leftovers show how the mountain was used as a tourist destination during the East German period.
