Schneekopf Summit and Observation Tower (Thuringia Stamp Point No. 68)

Highlight • Summit

At 978 meters, the Schneekopf is the second highest elevation in Thuringia after the Großer Beerberg (983 meters). From here you can enjoy magnificent views all around. Visiting the top of the tower is the only way to exceed 1,000 meters in the Thuringian Forest.
