The Weyhershauk is a nature reserve in the Rhön biosphere reserve. On the natural history trail, hikers can get to know the northernmost occurrence of an important dry habitat in Bavaria. It is one of the most valuable areas due to its species-rich equipment with a large variety of animal and plant species.

Hiking

The steep ascent, which I didn't expect at all here in the Rhön, was definitely worth it. Not far away there are two sun loungers with views in two different directions. And there are also two benches directly at the summit cross, one of which has a table. Up here you have a great view and the flora is fascinating in summer.

From the summit cross of the Weyershauck you have a great view of the surrounding area. Many rest benches invite you to take a break here.
