    This vantage point is located above Oberweißbach. A detour to the Fröbelturm (Fröbel Tower) is highly worthwhile. From the tower, a magnificent panoramic view of the Thuringian Forest opens up. The inn at the tower invites you to linger.

        Ate a very good spinach dumpling with salad in the restaurant.
        I can only recommend.
        I'm happy to accept the waiting time for fresh preparation.
        Nice personel.

                The Fröbelturm is a QR code stamping point of the "Rennsteig-Schwarzatal Tourism Region" for collecting digital hiking stamps.

                  If the restaurant is closed, there is also a forest snack. Open every Monday and Tuesday. Here you can get tasty and hearty game dishes.

                    You can enjoy the tower and the landscape for 1 euro per person.
                    The inn has very good food.
                    There is a very nice playground for children and a large garden.

                          A beautiful view of the surrounding area from the tower. Even the gastronomy takes care of the visitors.

                                After some time we reach the Fröbelturm at 784.4 m.
                                A charming box with information about what happened here 750 years ago - nothing.

                                We climb the tower.
                                Entry costs 1 euro and we get a nice panoramic view.
                                There is also a restaurant there.

                                  Wonderful high-altitude hiking trail again and again with views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. I highly recommend the porcelain artist Kati Zorn with an exhibition in Cursdorf. Funny and class! The Berggasthof am Fröbelturm is just awesome. Hikers are welcomed and easily assigned a place, even when it is full. Food tastes really good, especially the schnitzel and the dumplings !!! Delicious! Very good signposting of the hiking trails. I really recommend the ice cream parlor in Oberweißbach !!

                                    From Unterweißbach we hiked up to the Fröbelturm. We were rewarded with really delicious South Tyrolean dumplings, highly recommended 👌

                                            For one euro you can climb up through a turnstile

                                              We were here on a Saturday in January, not enough snow for skiing or tobogganing, but everything was nice and white and the view was beautiful and the restaurant was open

                                                If you're in the area, you should definitely hike to the Fröbelturm and climb the tower. It's best to have €1 coins with you for entry through the turnstile. Otherwise, the kiosk owner will be happy to give you change. From the tower, you have a fantastic panoramic view of the southern Thuringian Forest and far to the north. We saw as far as the Harz Mountains during our visit.

                                                  Reachable from Oberweißbach in 45 minutes. Great views. There are plenty of opportunities for kids to play around the tower. The restaurant is lovingly decorated, and the staff is hospitable.
