배드 허스펠드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 산 정상

At 480.5 m above sea level, the Stellerskuppe is the highest elevation in the Bad Hersfeld area. From 1935 to 1948 there was a wooden observation tower here. Some of the foundation remains can still be discovered and an information board shows historical photos.

The 26 m high Borgmann Tower is a massive brick tower and is unfortunately not accessible via a turnstile at the moment. From the viewing platform the view extends over the Knüll Nature Park and northern Hesse's landscapes: Habichtswald, Reinhardswald, Kaufunger Wald, Hoher Meißner and Kellerwald, sometimes even further to the Thuringian Forest, Vogelsberg, Taunus, Westerwald, Rothaargebirge and the Rhön.

Long-distance hike with beautiful viewpoints and rest areas from the highest mountain in the Knüll Mountains to the festival town of Bad Hersfeld.

Over 100 years ago, in 1913, the "observation tower" was built with a wonderful 360° panoramic view, a magnificent view from 26m above the pass of the 636m high Eisenberg. The picturesque foreground, in the middle of a sea of forests, is bordered by countless valleys and mountain ranges in the middle ground. Towards the horizon, however, the view is limited by mountains of various shapes, such as the Thuringian Forest, Rhön, Vogelsberg, Taunus, Westerwald, Sauerland, Kellerwald, Reinhardswald, Habichtswald and Kaufunger Wald as well as Meißner, to name just the most important. Unfortunately, the tower has been closed for some time.

Unfortunately no more daily business! It's a shame because I would have liked to have had a drink and eaten up there! 🤷‍♂️

Important rules for using the tower. The technical data are also very interesting.

The effort for the ascent, especially to the viewing platform, is worth it. Up here you have a perfect panoramic view. 🗼🔭

The predecessors were all wooden towers and not very high due to the low forest cover at the time. The first tower (1895) was 8 meters high. The second (1955) was a bit higher at 13.50 meters. The tower, built in 2004, is 25m high.
