During the construction of the new ICE line, the waste from the nearby Reitersberg Tunnel was dumped here to form an artificial mountain (soil dump). A hiking trail with a gentle incline leads to the viewing platform in a spiral shape. From the top, there is a panoramic view towards Oberlauter and Unterlauter, Rödental, Dörfles, Lauterberg, and Coburg Fortress, as well as the new ICE line from Ebensfeld to Erfurt.

The Reitersberg Tunnel, also known as the Reitersberg Tunnel, is a 2,975-meter-long railway tunnel on the high-speed line from Nuremberg to Erfurt near Rödental. The south portal is located near Oberwohlsbach, and the north portal is near Fornbach, both districts of the Upper Franconian town of Rödental in the Coburg district. The tunnel passes under, among other things, the 508-meter-high Hohe Schwenge to the south and the 457-meter-high Reitersberg to the north. The tunnel has a maximum overburden of 90 meters.

There is a small summit cross on top of the artificially created hill. It can be easily reached on foot (or by bike) via the beautifully laid out labyrinth path. it is particularly great for families with small children, once they have reached the top they can have their picture taken there and can be proud
