The memorial stone on the Oberer Vogelherd was erected in 1935 to commemorate the golden wedding anniversary of the manor's owner, Dr. Georg Hirsch, and his wife, Elly. The initiative came from the manor's forester, Carl Himmelreich. The original tower stood for only about 30 years. It was rebuilt in 2018 at the initiative of the Kospoda Local History Society.

The old hut was replaced by a nicer and, above all, larger hut.

The moated castle was built between 1547 and 1552 by the last Elector of the Saxon-Ernestine House, Johann Friedrich the Magnanimous, founder of the University of Jena.

Right next to the cycle path is the confluence of the Orla and Saale. There is a small hut with a table and two benches with space for about 6-8 cyclists (or hikers).
