One of the best panoramic viewpoints on the route, with sweeping views over the Odenwald hills toward the Rhine Plain on clear days. A well-earned vista after the climb.

An elevated viewpoint looking out toward the Heppenheim valley and the Rhine Plain beyond. On a clear day the views stretch far west — a great reward after the climb.
