    Hiking

    The Silbersee in the Bavarian Rhön is an idyllic hiking highlight, embedded in a landscape that impresses with both its natural beauty and its interesting history. This picturesque lake is not only a place for recreation and enjoyment of nature, but also tells a story of human influence and adaptation.

    The Silbersee was created as a direct result of basalt mining in the region. Where intensive mining once took place, a unique natural paradise has developed over time. The lake, surrounded by dense forest and rolling hills, today offers a quiet retreat and an oasis of peace.
