The Vitus Fountain, dating from 1613, stands in the market square of Vacha in front of the red-timbered town hall. The statue depicts the city's patron saint, Saint Vitus, dressed as a Roman knight. His left hand hangs down, holding a shield that depicts his martyrdom.

Impressive giant tree. The information board explains with a poem why the beech tree is lying there and no longer stands...

Breathtaking view over the Rhön, the Hessian Kegelspiel, the salt mountains and all the way to the Hoher Meißner.

The hut is open every Sunday from April to October, as well as on all Thuringian holidays, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. If the crowds that gather up here in good weather are too much and too loud for you, it's better to go up on other days.
