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.

Komoot comment suggestion ​"Gasthaus Laubacher Wald (former train station!) – The final destination for longing... for food! 🚂🍽️" ​What a discovery! Here, where the locomotives once roared, cyclists can now take a breather and refuel. This is the Gasthaus Laubacher Wald, and yes, it's an old train station. The tracks are gone, but the charm remains – and the food is definitely not your average train station! ​You're truly sitting in the heart of the Vogelsberg Mountains, the air is fantastic, and after a few kilometers on the saddle, the Hessian specialties taste twice as good. My personal stop tip: Be sure to check out the beer garden when the sun is shining. Or take a look around inside to see if you can spot the ghost of an old conductor somewhere – I only saw wild boar, deer, and fox (which are probably the new regulars). ​Conclusion: A wonderful place for a break! Instead of changing trains, you can simply sit down, enjoy the ride, and then continue cycling, refreshed.

A beautiful, idyllic place.

There is good food here.

The Mehlbach pond, which has nothing to do with flour or mills, because it has too little water for a mill and has never powered one, is currently being renovated by Hessen Forst. The dam is being rebuilt. For those interested: The Mehlbach is actually called Molbach, which comes from the Middle High German expression mol and means newt, lizard. Fifty years ago the first syllable was pronounced short, i.e. Melbach, or even Mölbach. That is why the old cadastral maps of the Grand Duchy still say Molbach. It's a bit of a shame that the original name has been parodied here out of ignorance. See the Lagis-Hessen State Archives for more information! I've attached a map section to the pictures. It used to be one of the ponds that had to supply the fish, when meat was still Sunday food.

At present, the pond is quite close to the state of the legend and not very attractive

To what extent this shelter is freely usable, you should perhaps inquire in advance with a city administration… Beautiful spot on earth

Great place to take a break.
