Hiking

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.

Hiking

Great destination 🙏
By the way, the local gastronomy is highly recommended... Homemade dumplings with a Tyrolean recipe ☝️
But be careful... not typical Thuringian cuisine... but super tasty 🥰

Mountain biking

The tower was erected in honor of the pedagogue Fröbel in 1890 at his favorite place, the 784 meter high Kirchberg. It is connected to Oberweißbach in the Thuringian Slate Mountains via the herb trail. From here you have a wide view over the Thuringian Basin to the Brocken. In the adjoining mountain inn you can enjoy Thuringian specialties. Current information on opening times can be found here: gasthaus-froebelturm.de
