On the Hellberg there is (or was) an approximately 300-year-old oak tree known as the “Tilly oak tree”. According to local tradition, the tree is intended to commemorate the military leader of the Catholic League, Count Tilly.

From here you have a panoramic view over Mackenrode to the Harz Mountains. If the visibility is very good you can also see the Brocken and on the other side the Ohm Mountains. There is a bench in the corner where you can sit and relax.

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the looks of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God. " (Text source: Dean Rainald M. Ollig in: “Crossroads. Small sacred monuments as a sign of popular piety ")

Larger army camps in the Thirty Years' War stank pitifully. That has since evaporated. Here you can rest comfortably without odor nuisance or danger from marauding soldiers. In the light of my headlamp, the place appeared well-groomed and attractive on 10/10/2021.

Where the great armies of the Thirty Years' War were encamped, it must have stinked poorly. The stink has now disappeared here. In the meantime, you can relax and take a rest without unpleasant smells and without the risk of marauding soldiers.
