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

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

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!
