Geographical location

South to south-east of the mountain are the places Brunnhartshausen, Empfertshausen that in the valley of Felda located Neidhartshausen and Zella .

history
As early as 1879, the Rhön Club built the first log cabin next to the summit cross . It comfortably seated 30 people and was inaugurated on August 17, 1879. On August 22, 1914, it was replaced by a successor building. The log cabin was rebuilt in 1994 by the Rhönklub , Dermbach branch, and inaugurated on October 3, 1994. The exposed location has its price - in 1998 the roof was re-covered with 35,000 larch shingles. The hut is managed and open on Sundays and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 2001 a display board was set up at the lookout point, on which the visible mountains and towns are shown as a guide.
Routes to the summit
- A road leads from Brunnhartshausen to Föhlritz, at the upper end of which there is a parking lot. From there, a relatively easy hiking trail runs for about 1 km to the top of the glasses with the Dermbacher hut.
- On the north side of the mountain, a path coming from Dermbach reaches the summit, the path from there runs past the Karl-Friedrich-Stein and the shepherd's drink.
- The Main-Werra-Weg (HSN) also leads over the Gläserberg.
