The glider airfield of the Flugsportverein Friesener Warte is on the plateau and you can watch gliders take off or land from time to time.
The opening scenes of the very successful two-part feature film “Hindenburg” (2011) were shot up here.
On nice days you have a really impressive view of the Franconian Switzerland, the Steigerwald, the Obermaintal and even the Rhön.
In summer, protected plants such as purple pasque flowers, delicate blue flax, wild thyme and smaller orchids bloom on the dry, poor meadow.

Wonderful panoramic view with seating. With a bit of luck you can watch the glider pilots taking off and landing.

This place and the benches / tables placed on it are ideal for a break.
The association used to sell coffee and cake here on Sundays, but unfortunately they are no longer allowed to do so, according to the notice at the bar.
