Interesting relic with a magnificent all-round view.

The view is mega ... great landscape.
It is also worth taking a short walk to the horse head or the Abstroda Kuppe ... both destinations can of course also be reached by bike.

The Wasserkuppe is, apart from its tourist attraction, always a sporting destination. The 950 meters finally want to be done. The increase is rewarded!

Very nice hike with a nice view and nice views.

A visit to the Rhön without a visit to the Wasserkuppe is incomplete - even if there is already a lot of hustle and bustle. A short walk to the horse's head or to the Abtsrodaer Kuppe brings great views.

Great view from up here. In the Radom there is a museum for espionage. Very interesting.
