Wilhelmsblick

The Wilhelmsblick in the Harz Mountains of central Germany is a viewing point near the village of Treseburg in the Bode Gorge in the county of Harz, Saxony-Anhalt. From this single point, four different stretches of the River Bode may be seen as it swings in great loops around the spur on which the viewing point is located.

Location

The Wilhelmsblick lies within the Harz/Saxony-Anhalt Nature Park aoout 1,000 metres (as the crow flies) north-northwest of the junction of the Landesstraße 94 (Altenbrak–Treseburg) and the L 93 (Allrode–Treseburg–Wienrode) in Treseburg, the last-named road being linked to Thale via the nearby Kreisstraße 1350. The actual viewing point is located west of the L 93 on a narrow ridge, passed on both sides by the River Bode, at a height of 314 m above sea level (NN).[1] The Bode swings in a tight loop around the spur at a height of 273.7 m above NN[2] at the bridge on the L 94 just southwest of the viewing point and a height of 256.7 m above NN[2] a little northeast of the viewing point in a loop. The stretches of river either side of the ridge come within just 150 m[2] of one another. The Wilhelmsblick is no. 66[1] in the system of checkpoints in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network.
