Stamp point 66 / Wilhelmsblick (viewpoint)

The Wilhelmsblick is located above Treseburg about 1 km after the village exit in the direction of Thale.

As part of road­works car­ri­ed out in 1861, mas­ter road buil­der Wil­helm came up with the idea of buil­ding a tun­nel right next to the high­way to reach the uni­que view­point abo­ve. The view­point was later named after him. 

A sign with the fol­lo­wing slo­gan was pla­ced right next to the tun­nel entrance:

„Wan­de­rer, stop your steps if you want to delight your heart and mind.
Easi­ly climb moun­tain heights, whe­re the shi­vers of the pre­vious world blow.
And long ago the­re were towers and batt­le­ments.
But now your eye rests on the moun­tain stream’s wild flood.
And you feel only air – but hor­ror, if you dare to look down.
Enter this cave.“

The Wil­helms­blick is loca­ted on a nar­row rocky ridge, which is sur­roun­ded by the Bode in a lar­ge arc. As a result, you can see seve­ral sec­tions of the Bode river from this beau­tiful van­ta­ge point. 

A recom­men­ded start­ing point for the hike is the par­king lot on the banks of the Bode in Tre­se­burg. Past the bus stop, you will reach Wil­helms­blick via an ascen­ding path with seve­ral view­points. You can return to Tre­se­burg through the afo­re­men­tio­ned tunnel. 

You can also con­ti­nue the hike to Forst­haus Tod­ten­ro­de HWN 65 or to Ross­trap­pe HWN 71.
