Geographical location

The Große Ehrenberg is located in the southern Harz within the southern Harz nature park . It rises around 2.5 km west of Rothesütte and around 3.5 km north-northwest of Sülzhayn , both of which belong to Ellrich . To the north its landscape falls into the valley of the Great Kunzenbach and to the west into that of the Kleiner Kunzenbach , which flow on the border between Thuringia and Lower Saxony and form the Kunzenbach directly to the west below the mountain . The eastern branch of the mountain is the Dornkopf ( 579  m above sea level ). This mountain spur and also the Große Ehrenberg pass the state road  1014, which branches off the federal highway 4 between the triangle Lower Saxony-Saxony-Anhalt-Thuringia and Rothesütte and from there leads approximately in a north-south direction to Sülzhayn. For example, coming from this road, both elevations can only be reached on forest paths.

Inner German border

The inner-German border used to run north and west directly below the Großer Ehrenberg in the valleys of the Großer Kunzenbach and Kleiner Kunzenbach . However, the Iron Curtain including the column path led directly over the summit. There were also two operational border gates here . Today the Green Belt Germany runs over the mountain . To the northeast of the mountain, on the former inner-German border at the triangle of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, stands the three-state stone .
