ラウターバッハ（ヘッセン）の絶景の山頂・トップ19

As long as the Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein remains closed, there's not much more to see from there. Otherwise, in my humble opinion, the highest point of the Sieben Ahorn isn't where the sign is.

The summit cross on the Eisenberg is a bit difficult to find. If it hadn't been for the "Save the Eisenberg" campaign, you definitely wouldn't be able to reach the summit cross by bike, horseback or on foot. There is a small book at the summit cross that you can sign in.

The Sieben Ahorn is around 753 m above sea level. NHN the third highest mountain in the Vogelsberg low mountain range in the Vogelsberg district in Hesse. The Sieben Ahorn rises in the upper forest of the Vogelsberg in the Vogelsberg Volcanic Region Nature Park. While most of its summit region lies in the urban areas of Ulrichstein and Schotten, its eastern slope falls into the urban area of Herbstein and the northeast slope falls into the municipal area of Lautertal. Its summit is located 3.6 km southeast of the Ulrichstein district of Feldkrücken, 3.9 km south of the Ulrichstein district of Rebgeshain, 3.6 km north-northeast of the Schotten district of Breungeshain, 5.1 km west-southwest of the Herbstein district of Lanzenhain and 5.1 km southwest of the Lautertal part of the community Eichelhain. On the eastern slope of the Sieben Ahorn at an altitude of around 720 m lies the Geiselstein, a rock breakthrough made of nepheline-leucite basalt with a high content of magnetic iron. 2.2 km south-southeast of the mountain peak is the Taufstein (773 m), the highest mountain in the Vogelsberg, and 2.8 km south, the Hoherodskopf (763.8 m), the second highest mountain in this low mountain range. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieben_Ahorn

The road was quite rutted by harvesters. Sliding passages needed. Found the summit cross thanks to Bernhard's info. No view because of dense forest around...

Interested parties place next to a wind turbine, there is also a bench nearby to take a break, and you can let your gaze wander into the distance.

Sweet summit cross with summit book and lots of empties in the chest 🙈

Shelter in good condition

“Each of these crosses can tell its own story and what motivated people to erect“ their ”cross at this point. (...) These crossroads were erected as visible signs and attract the eyes of many people. The cross is a symbol of life. It stands as a sign of our Christian hope and wants to direct our gaze to Jesus Christ, who overcame death (...). The cross is part of our life, just as it was part of the life of Jesus. So I hope that many people ... visit the crossroads, whether as places of silence and breathing before God, whether as places of congregation meeting, prayer and praise of God.
