At 65 meters above sea level, the Litberg is the highest elevation in the Stade district. The Gauß observation tower is located in the middle of the forest. Climbing 133 steps, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. Plenty of benches invite you to linger, and there are swings for children.
