    You hardly notice that it is so high here... strolling on the plain... and suddenly you are at the summit... unexpectedly

      It doesn't stand out that much from the plateau. At more than 925m, the Heidelstein is the fourth highest mountain in the Rhön. The Bavarian-Hessian state border runs across it. The easily recognizable 218m high radio tower/transmission mast is in Bavarian/Lower Franconian territory.
