A detour here is worth it alone because of the great view that you have from the top of the tower. You can look far into the Haunetal and Fuldatal. Unfortunately, access to the tower is currently blocked (April 2020) due to the risk of the trees breaking.

There is a massive lookout tower and a refuge up here. From the tower, I took photos in all directions that show the distant view.
A visit to this viewpoint is recommended.

Small wooden shelter directly under the Mengshäuser Kuppe lookout tower. Offers space for a short rest and as a shelter in bad weather.
