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.

Heckersberghütte Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A small refuge that also invites you to a picnic. Not far away is a section of the Leibis drinking water dam to see. The eponymous place Leibis had to give way to the drinking water dam.

December 28, 2023,Deesbach, Vorsperre, Talsperre Leibis-Lichte und Fröbelturm

Today we started with a nice hiking group in Deesbach.
We hiked to the Deesbacher Vorsperre and along the Leibis-Lichte dam.
We went back up to the Solwiese and the rock house.
There was a delicious meal in the restaurant at the Fröbelturm.

Once again a lovely hiking experience.
