The Sonnenstein is "the" lookout hill of the northern Eichsfeld: The view extends far beyond Duderstadt to the west towards the Leinebergland, while in the eastern direction, Thuringia's "Ayers Rock", the reddish potash tailings heap of Bischofferode, appears exotic and landscape-defining. Also on the tour program: the former inner-German, now Thuringian-Lower Saxony border, where nature filmmaker Heinz Sielmann filmed a first documentary in 1988 ("Animals in the Shadow of the Border") about the biodiversity of the border strip and thus became one of the pioneers of the "Green Belt".
From the parking bay near Ecklingerode, we start on the Kolonnenweg heading south ("West-Eastern Gate"), turn left at this art object towards Wehnde and reach its eastern outskirts on a paved lane. On the opposite side of L 2017, we enter a field path. While the main path branches off to the right after 400 m, we continue straight ahead, where it gradually turns into an overgrown track with some ups and downs. At a high point, this path leads into a wide forest road, which we follow in the same direction as before. After a winding course, it reaches a T-junction with another forest road, onto which we turn right. On the ridge, 20 m to the left offset, we find a field path that loses height in the open country. We cross the intersection in the valley straight ahead and have the Wildungen ruin half-right in front of us. After a few meters uphill, we turn left onto a tractor track ("Sonnenstein").

Sabine Gilcher
Sabine Gilcher, Jahrgang 1962, wuchs im bayerischen Alpenvorland auf, mit einem Hochmoor direkt vor der Haustür, den Osterseen gleich um die Ecke und den Bergen immer in Sichtweite. Die Liebe zur Natur wurde daher früh geweckt und später im Studium der Landespflege vertieft. Heute lebt sie als Landschaftsplanerin in Freiburg im Breisgau. Ein Aufenthalt als Erntehelferin auf einem Bauernhof in Norwegen weckte die Liebe zu Skandinavien. Seit mehr als 30 Jahren bereist sie Europas Norden und Nordwesten und lässt sich jedes Mal von Neuem von den dortigen Landschaften faszinieren. Ihre Hobbys Wandern und Fotografieren sind die ideale Kombination zum Erstellen der Wanderführer für den Rother Bergverlag und das Wissen um ökologische Zusammenhänge kommt ihr sowohl im Gelände als auch beim Verfassen der Wanderführer sehr zustatten.
