Schwälmer Trail (X10)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A well signposted hiking trail between Mengshausen and the Mengshäuser Kuppe. Because it goes up to the crest, you have to accept certain inclines.

Heussner Tower on the Mengshäuser Kuppe

Highlight • Viewpoint

A detour here is worth it alone because of the great view that you have from the top of the tower. You can look far into the Haunetal and Fuldatal. Unfortunately, access to the tower is currently blocked (April 2020) due to the risk of the trees breaking.

Heussner Tower on the Mengshäuser Kuppe

Highlight • Viewpoint

The 25 meter high Heussner Tower (built in 1964) offers - weather permitting - a wide view of the Knüll Mountains in the north-west, the Rhön in the south-east, the Vogelsberg in the south-west, the Hoher Meißner in the north-east and the Great Inselsberg in the east.

Trail Junction HEF-356

Highlight • Trail

Intersection of several routes. As a resting place at the moment, it is rather unsuitable, since the remains of the table and benches have their best time behind them 🐛
