View of the Kleiner Gleichberg from the Großer Gleichberg

The view is great, it stretches all the way to the Thuringian Forest. The boulder field of the Kleiner Gleichberg can be seen clearly.
You can find more pictures under the Thuringian View highlight.

Summit of Großer Gleichberg

Highlight • Summit

The climb up to the plateau is strenuous, but the view from above makes up for the effort. You can look towards Franconia (Bavaria) or towards Kleiner Gleichberg (Thuringia). This is where the viewpoints get their name from.

The Kleine Gleichberg and the opposite Großer Gleichberg form a "geological twin" pair of basalt cones of volcanic origin. While the 697-meter-high Großer Gleichberg boasts fantastic viewpoints, such as the Frankenblick, the Kleine Gleichberg boasts a rich history: …

The best thing was the friendly little grandpa in the "Am Gleichberg" inn. When he had laboriously got me a bottle of beer and I asked what it cost, he smiled and said: "2 marks" (!) 😊
