Hiking

The buildings on the Schwedenschanze were once an inn with a hotel business. You can no longer stop here today. But the Schwedenschanze is still an interesting place. Here is the apex of the pass road between Gersfeld and Bischofsheim and thus also between the rivers Fulda and Brend (source very close). The Fulda flows over the Weser directly to the North Sea. The Brend takes the route via the Franconian Saale, Main and Rhine. Since the German-Austrian War of 1866, the border between Hesse and Bavaria has also run near the Schwedenschanze.

Unfortunately, the restaurant at Schwedenschanze is closed. But there are parking spaces and a bus stop here: a great starting point for hikes to Simmelsberg, Himmeldunk, Rockenstein,...

Formerly a restaurant. Today it serves as a parking lot for nearby excursion destinations.
