Tips
Beautiful little "rocky peak" above Gersfeld. Great panoramic view of the Rhön
including the Wasserkuppe. You should be sure-footed for the ascent to the summit cross.
The area around the summit is also used as pasture, unfortunately there were no goats for us to take photos there.😉translated by

The watchdog is the remnant of a former volcanic vent. From here you have a great 360 ° view of the mountains and valleys of the Rhön. Unfortunately, our beagle was not allowed up and had to wait in front of the fence, as the hilltop is populated by mountain goats. More information: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wachtküppel
