Whether hiking, eating out, sledding, etc. here is something for everyone

The Wasserkuppe is always a sporting destination, whether on foot or by bike. Magnificent views of the Rhön and, if the weather is suitable, a distant view of the neighboring low mountain ranges: Vogelsberg, Knüll, Thuringian Forest and Spessart.

Former Cold War radar surveillance system with sightseeing opportunity

On the Radom there is a platform with beautiful views

The ascent to the Wasserkuppe is a special highlight in the region. The view is terrific

The Wasserkuppe 950 m above sea level. NHN with radome:

Interesting relic with a magnificent all-round view.

The view is mega ... great landscape.
It is also worth taking a short walk to the horse head or the Abstroda Kuppe ... both destinations can of course also be reached by bike.

The Wasserkuppe is, apart from its tourist attraction, always a sporting destination. The 950 meters finally want to be done. The increase is rewarded!

Old radar from times of cold war. The Radom can be visited.

The most famous and striking point on the Wasserkuppe. There is almost always a strong wind up here, so the temperatures still feel a bit lower in the cold season.

Great view from up here. In the Radom there is a museum for espionage. Very interesting.

A visit to the Rhön is simply incomplete without exploring the Wasserkuppe. The all-round view is incomparable.

As the highest mountain in the "Land of Open Distant Areas" (Rhön), the Wasserkuppe naturally occupies an exposed position. As the start, stopover or destination, the highest mountain in Hesse is worth a visit in every season. The Wasserkuppe offers incredible natural and landscape diversity in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve for nature lovers and those seeking peace, but is also a magnet for athletes, sailors and skiers.

You can't get any higher ... in Hessen.

Very nice hike with a nice view and nice views.

A visit to the Rhön without a visit to the Wasserkuppe is incomplete - even if there is already a lot of hustle and bustle. A short walk to the horse's head or to the Abtsrodaer Kuppe brings great views.
