There is an observation tower on the 896-meter-high Hutwisch. From there you are another 22 meters higher and have a wonderful view over the hilly landscape of the Bucklige Welt.

A few meters from the Kernstockwarte. Here you can get drinks 24/7 from the vending machine which is attached to the hut.

Great view in all directions at a little over 900 m above sea level (incl. observation tower ;-) ...). Right next to the Kernstockwarte is the Hutwischhütte, where there is also a vending machine.

For more than 100 years there has been a vantage point on the Hutwisch, so that you can also enjoy the magnificent view from the wooded summit. Today's tower was built in 1978, is 22 meters high and freely accessible at all times. On a clear day you can see as far as Hungary and even recognize the distant flanks of the Steiner Alps in Slovenia.
