Geographical location
The Große Farmdenkopf is the highest elevation of the Wurzelberg massif in the northwest part of the Sonneberg district southeast of Goldisthal , which lies in the deeply cut Schwarzatal , or northwest of the nearby Scheibe-Alsbach , which extends a little further above in the valley of the same river.

Goldisthal pumped storage plant
The Great Farmdenkopf achieves its long-distance effect mainly through the directly attached, at 877 m above sea level. NN located upper basin of the pumped storage plant Goldisthal , which is only towered over by the tree tops on the summit.
Hiking and viewing opportunities
A unique panoramic view can be enjoyed from the Großer Farmdenkopf in the Thuringian Slate Mountains or Thuringian Forest . The numerous viewpoints can be reached during a 360-degree hike (if you want to go around completely , you have to hike a few 100 m on a very narrow ridge) from the upper basin of the Goldisthal pumped storage plant.
