The snack bar "Zur beautiful view" on the Hoherodskopf has "cult status" and the absolutely best location, right on the front line on Breungeshainer Hang 👍👍👍
Mega 180 degree view! There is delicious Vogelsberger bratwurst and more .... 😊
My absolute favorite location on the volcano 🗻

At 763.8 m high, the Hoherodskopf is the second highest mountain in the Vogelsberg. It offers a good panoramic view of the surrounding area as far as the Rhine-Main area and the Taunus. Hiking trails run through the Hoherodskopf, including the European long-distance hiking trail E3. At the foot of the telecommunications tower, the Hoherodskopf information center of the Vogelsberg Volcanic Region Geopark is showing a nature experience exhibition on the topics of geology, water, forest, raised moor and mountain hay meadows. There is a tourist information office attached. The Hoherodskopf Geopath and the Höhenrundweg begin at the information center. The Geopfpad explains the 7 km route to Hochwaldhausen and takes you back into the history of the earth with stones and rocks along the way.
The 7 km long circular route connects the most important sights and most striking points in a two-hour hike, including the baptismal font with Bismarck tower, high moor, the Geiselstein, whose magnetic rock deflects compass needles, Breungeshainer Heide, Nidda spring, trout ponds and back to the starting point.
There are also exciting activities waiting for visitors: the treetop path, which runs up to 15 m above the ground, the climbing forest with ten different courses, a mini golf course, mountain bike trails as well as a summer toboggan run, cross-country ski trails and ski runs in winter. The 1.2 km long ski lift on the Breungeshainer slope is Hesse's. There are also restaurants, a café and a youth hostel.
