The first wooden observation tower was built on the summit of the Rother Kuppe as early as 1890/1891 , which collapsed due to the rough weather in the Rhön in the years after the Second World War . The second wooden tower, which was inaugurated on May 15, 1955, defied the weather for only a few years and was demolished. In 1966/67 the third tower was erected, this time in reinforced concrete.

From its viewing platform, a wide panoramic view of the Langen Rhön ( Heidelstein , Thuringian hut), the Thuringian Rhön ( Gebaberg , Dolmar , Hutsberg, Neuberg), the Thuringian Forest ( Großer Inselsberg ) and the Grabfeld ( Ostheim vor der Rhön , Gleichberge ) is possible .
