Hausberg Viewpoint (Butzbach)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hausberg is also particularly worthwhile due to its wooden tower with a magnificent view

The first observation tower was built on the local mountain as early as 1873. This was badly damaged by a hurricane in 1875, repaired again in 1876 and then remained in place until 1941 when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On June 1, 2007, the Hausbergturm e. V started the construction of a new tower, which was inaugurated on May 31, 2008 as the Hausberg tower. The tower is 23.25 m high and has a covered viewing platform at 19 m height, which is accessible via 98 metal steps of the staircase arranged diagonally in the tower. Panorama orientation boards are attached to the parapets of the platform.

From the observation platform of the tower, the view not only falls down to Butzbach, but also offers a 360-degree panoramic view with views to the south, west and northwest over the Taunus with the High Taunus and the Eastern Hintertaunus Wetterau (northeast, east and southeast), to the Westerwald (northwest), to the Siegerland (northwest), to the Rothaargebirge (northwest), to the Wittgensteiner Land (northwest), to the Burgwald (north), to the Gladenbacher Bergland (north), to Gießen ( North), to the Kellerwald (northeast), to the Knüllgebirge (northeast), to the Vogelsberg (northeast and east), to the Rhön (east), to the Spessart (southeast) and over the lower Taunushauptkamm at the Saalburgpass to the Odenwald (south).

Since 2015, the wooden struts on the south and west sides of the tower have been protected against weathering with sheet zinc covers. (Wikipedia)

Hausberg Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gigantic 360-degree panorama: Taunus, Westerwald, Rothaargebirge, Kellerwald, Knüllgebirge, Vogelsberg, Rhön, Spessart, Odenwald, etc. In the right weather conditions, a view of up to 100 kilometers is not uncommon here.
For me, the Hausberg tower is by far one of the greatest viewpoints in the region!

Unfortunately, only a single point is marked here. You can ride a good stretch along the Kleebach before and after it.

Grube Fernie Lake

Highlight • Lake

Very beautiful lake. Unfortunately, swimming is forbidden, but it is very quiet here and the lake is very nice for a break.

Fernie Pit

Highlight • Lake

The Fernie pit, formerly an opencast mine on the southern edge of the mine forest, is now an exceptional natural paradise (FFH area) and a Giessen local recreation area!
