ハーブシュタイン周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Beautiful fish pond, great landscape, easy H circular route

One of the few bridges on the former route. It was built specifically for a farm track and is still in use today.

From the looks of things, the tower seems to have been left to its own devices... if something doesn't happen soon, it will be demolished... which would be a real shame

Once a reservoir for floating wood, then a trout farm and now a nature reserve. An idyllic spot on earth.

The Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein marks the highest point in the Vogelsberg Nature Park. The 28-meter-high observation tower was built between 1906 and 1910 and there are 101 steps inside that lead up to the top. When visibility is good, the Bismarck Tower offers an excellent panoramic view of the neighboring Hoherodskopf and the adjacent low mountain ranges. Unfortunately, the Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein, built from blue basalt, has suffered massive structural damage. A safe visit to the tower is therefore no longer guaranteed. The immediate area around the tower on the small plateau of the highest elevation of the Vogelsberg has therefore been cordoned off with a fence for some time. The climb to this impressive building is nevertheless worthwhile because it is somehow a mystical place and, like the other Bismarck Towers in Germany, a historical monument that should definitely be preserved and restored. Future generations will thank us later. http://www.vogelsbergtourist.de/bismarckturm-taufstein.html

...a short stop for a photo is worthwhile here...

The Bismarck Tower was built in 1910 as an observation tower. The structure was built from blue basalt and stands on the highest elevation of the Vogelsberg volcanic region. Unfortunately, the tower is currently not accessible because its supports are rusty and the masonry is dilapidated. A major refurbishment is required before you can climb back up and admire the gorgeous panorama.

Approx. 15-20 minutes' walk from the free Heide parking lot. Beautifully situated and a great experience in every season. Simply along the pond or over to the hut.
