Near the Schweinfurt house, the view of the 710.6m high Rother Kuppe with its observation tower falls. In addition to the basalt prism wall and Teufelskeller, the most visited destinations in the vicinity.

From Wikipedia: On the Gangolfsberg are the remains of the double Gangolfsberg ramparts from Celtic to Merovingian times; an early medieval settlement is also assumed. The ruins of St. Gangolf's chapel from the 8th century stand on the northern part. The chapel dedicated to Saint Gangolf later gave the mountain its name. The deserted areas of Wermers (see Schweinfurt House), Lahr and Lanzig are to the south-east. The Schweinfurter house is around 650 m east of the summit

The Rother Kuppe is a 710.6 m above sea level. NHN high mountain spur on the east slope of the Long Rhön.
It is located in the Roth vor der Rhön district of the community of Hausen in the Bavarian district of Rhön-Grabfeld and is a cut basalt body on upper shell limestone.
On the spur there is a tower restaurant with a lookout tower.
