Zweithöchster Berg im Kaufunger Wald (641 m NN). Auf der Basaltkuppe stehen der Bilsteinturm und die Bilsteingaststätte. Inhaberin: Cornelia Ludolph

Bilstein und Bilsteinturm: Der Bilsteinturm ist gut 20 m hoch. Von seiner Aussichtsplattform konnte man früher bis weit in die DDR hineinsehen. Das ist heute nicht mehr der Fall. Dafür geht der Blick in sechs Bundesländer:

- Hessen: Da steht der Turm

- Nordrhein-Westfalen: Kahler Asten (841 m NN), 91,2 km Entfernung

- Niedersachsen: Wurmberg (971 m NN), 77,8 km Entfernung. Landesgrenze: 2,6 km Entfernung

- Sachsen-Anhalt: Brocken (1.141 m NN), 80,9 km Entfernung

- Thüringen: Heldrastein (504 m NN), 34,1 km Entfernung. Landesgrenze: 10,8 km Entfernung

- Bayern: Dammersfeldkuppe (928 m NN), 98,9 Entfernung.

Zu überprüfen ist das über die Webseite https://www.udeuschle.de/panoramas/makepanoramas.htm (Bilstein anklicken, Kamerahöhe 18 Meter, Blickfeld 360°). 

Nach Ansicht des Wirts der Bilsteingaststätte ist der Bilstein der einzige Aussichtspunkt in Deutschland, bei dem man sechs Bundesländer erblicken kann. Das kann auf der Webseite nicht überprüft werden, wegen der zentralen Lage Hessens in Deutschland spricht aber einiges dafür.
