Lookout point and benches above Weiden. The view to the south is limited by the width of the Lorsbach valley, but extends as far as the Odenwald. To be able to see the Melibokus, the most striking elevation on the mountain road, you have to stand 2 meters to the left of the bench and look high over the hedges.

Hiking

The Melibocusblick is called that because from here you can see over the exit of the Lorsbach valley and the Rhine-Main plain to the Odenwald. Depending on the location, vegetation or tree height, you can see the Melibocus on the Bergstrasse from there. A few steps back onto the meadows you can also see Königstein Castle, the Grosser Feldberg and the Atzelberg (currently only the transmission tower, unfortunately, as the observation tower has not yet been rebuilt).

Addendum: The Atzelberg now has a new observation tower again.
