Hiking
The climb is worth the effort ... sturdy shoes, good endurance. From Willershausen it can be done with less effort, but the fun factor is also less ...

Hiking
The Hessian-Thuringian border with a section of boundary stones from the 16th century has been running over the summit region of the Kielforst for centuries. During the Cold War it was part of the former inner-German border; however, their death strip ran about 500 m east of the summit region; only a narrow border control route was laid out along today's border.

Hiking
The high areas of the Kielforst are forested, the lower areas are used for agriculture. There is a summit cross on the summit and a transmission mast / tower on the higher elevations in the east. From the plateau-like summit region of Berges you can see the southeastern Thuringian Forest with the Wartburg and the Großer Inselsberg and down into the Werra valley.
