Mottener Haube Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path climbs steeply and historic border stones from 1729 show that you are now directly on the Hessian-Bavarian border path. The effort of the climb is followed, assuming good visibility, by a brilliant panoramic view from the observation tower, which is almost 24 meters high and has 122 steps. From the summit, a grassy path leads downhill and straight to the almost 600 meter high Kleine Haube.

Uphill to Haube

Highlight • Climb

small uphill challenge. Really tricky when wet, but there is a reward a few meters further up.

View of Motten and the Kuppenrhön from Mottener Höhe

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful views from here of the Kuppenrhön and Motten. Many hiking trails lead past here, such as the Rhöner Extratour to the Mottener Haube or the Abtsweg. A rest area invites weary hikers to enjoy the all-round view over a snack or to read the information boards.
