Great views of the Kreuzberg and surrounding area. A lovely family hike to the WÜ Karl Straub House is also possible. Easily accessible with a stroller.

Here, on the fourth highest mountain in the Rhön, the Hessian-Bavarian border runs... from here, if the weather is good, you can see the Lange Rhön. At the summit, there is a German Telekom transmission tower that can be seen from far away.
