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.

The observation tower on the Mengshäuser Kuppe offers a great all-round view!
