View of the Artificial Hill Near the ICE Tunnel

During the construction of the new ICE line, the waste from the nearby Reitersberg Tunnel was dumped here to form an artificial mountain (soil dump). A hiking trail with a gentle incline leads to the viewing platform in a spiral shape. From the top, there is a panoramic view towards Oberlauter and Unterlauter, Rödental, Dörfles, Lauterberg, and Coburg Fortress, as well as the new ICE line from Ebensfeld to Erfurt.
The Reitersberg Tunnel, also known as the Reitersberg Tunnel, is a 2,975-meter-long railway tunnel on the high-speed line from Nuremberg to Erfurt near Rödental. The south portal is located near Oberwohlsbach, and the north portal is located near Fornbach, both districts of the Upper Franconian town of Rödental in the Coburg district. The tunnel passes under, among other things, the 508-meter-high Hohe Schwenge to the south and the 457-meter-high Reitersberg to the north. The tunnel has a maximum overburden of 90 meters.

This mountain was created during the construction of the nearby ICE tunnel. From here you have a very good view of him. If you want, you can climb the mountain by bike or on foot. A path leads directly to the top with a subsequent viewpoint over the Coburg region. Highly recommended.

Very interesting mountain and you have a great view from above
