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.

Oberweißbach Mountain Railway

Highlight • Monument

If you are in the area, you should definitely not miss the Oberweissbacher mountain railway. On the steepest funicular the train conductor even explains the route. Just great. Worth seeing is definitely the Maschinarium.
