This view is unparalleled and makes hikers pause in awe on the summit of the Gläserberg. No tree, no bush obscures the view from the bare mountaintop, which greets visitors from afar. Anyone who has managed the climb to the 671-metre-high Gläserberg is rewarded with a fantastic panoramic view. A panorama that stretches far beyond the borders, with the Wartburg (34 km) in the north, the Schneekopf (47 km) in the east, the Heidelstein (26 km) in the south and the Rößberg (14 km) in the west at the hiker's feet. A beautiful spot on earth, which was sung about in the Gläserlied long ago with the words: "Happy hikers will flock from all over the wide Rhön to look out into the distant lands from your proud heights!"
