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.

Circular hike at the Fröbelturm with 5 cm of fresh snow. It's just fun. 😊

Wonderful little hike in the snow, with a stop at the Fröbelturm.
The dumpling dishes are highly recommended.
The pictures with the Oberweißbacher mountain railway were taken on an extra small tour that I have not recorded here.
