One of the "14 eight-thousanders in the Eastern Ore Mountains" - the Himalayas in the Eastern Ore Mountains!

Altitude: 827 m

One place - 3 names. The Wüste Höhe initially had no name at all and was therefore simply called Unbenannte Höhe. Nowadays, however, it is also known as Helbigshöhe. Please note that this summit is not really recognizable as a summit. This is because there is no view and no strenuous climb.

At the Wüsten Höhe, you will find a stamp point that identifies the summit as a destination on the "14 eight-thousanders" tour. With the starter pack, you can purchase your own personal stamp card, which you can use to pick up the original Gipfelstürmer T-shirt from the tourist information office at the end of the tour.

Simply order online here or buy directly at the Tourist Information Office.
