Unique ... and an absolute must on the Vogelsberg. Mountain and geotop at the same time!
And (@ Wener K.: I agree with you 100%) although only just under 666 meters high, it is still the most beautiful peak 👍 More information: vogelsberg.wiki/bilstein

Another thing you should definitely remember is to take your rubbish with you. In the last few weeks, Bilstein has received a lot of visitors, which unfortunately has also brought with it a lot of pollution from rubbish left behind (bottles, cans, food scraps...). Due to its special location, Bilstein cannot be reached by car - so removing it is a hassle. However, everyone can take their own rubbish with them - the things were already in their backpacks!

Park the bike here and climb the basalt rock a few meters because of the wide view over the Vogelsbergkreis.
