When the small observatory was built in 1971 and 1972 on the hill not far from the then-quietly used A4 motorway, the outskirts of the village were considerably farther away than they are today. Hardly any artificial light source obscured the stargazers' view of the night sky here, just outside the village gates. "Back then, this location was ideal," emphasizes Arnulf von der Stein after unlocking the massive outer door. Now 83, he witnessed the development of this rather functional, purpose-built building, whose appearance, thanks to its distinctive dome, nevertheless resembles a miniature cathedral, from its beginnings to its demise.

From this refuge, you have a magnificent view of the Fulda Valley toward Bebra. To the east, you can see the Montekali plateau in Heringen in the distance. The hut is a good rest stop for hikes, bike rides, and mountain bike tours.
