    Hiking

    The 25 meter high Heussner Tower (built in 1964) offers - weather permitting - a wide view of the Knüll Mountains in the north-west, the Rhön in the south-east, the Vogelsberg in the south-west, the Hoher Meißner in the north-east and the Great Inselsberg in the east.

    Hiking

    A detour here is worth it just because of the great view you have from the top of the tower. You can see far into the Haunetal and the Fuldatal.
