This area name likely dates back to a former victory celebration held after the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig. In any case, this was a former burning site for Easter bonfires, which continued to be held here until World War II.

Great viewpoint. Since the sandpit is located directly west of Kreuzberg, you have an unobstructed view to the east. On a clear day, you can easily see as far as Lingen – and with good eyesight, or binoculars, probably much further. At the end of 2025, the view was quite obstructed by the newly grown birch trees. A shame 😕

On the Trillenberg, at 142 meters the highest mountain in the Ankumerhöhe, you hike through a pleasantly green forest. In between you can keep looking through the trees at the surrounding fields.
