View of the Thuringian Forest from Finsterberghütte

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the hut lets you look far north over the Thuringian Forest.
The tower right on the summit offers a panoramic view of the Thuringian Forest. In good weather I suspect a far better view than I found.

A beautiful, easy hike with plenty of seating. The ascent and descent are a bit steep, but doable.
