Tips

Beyond the Horizon

January 25, 2024

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.

When hiking around the Silbersee or while spending time on its banks, visitors can fully enjoy the peace and beauty of the Rhön landscape. The mirror-smooth surface of the water reflects the surrounding nature and creates an atmosphere of relaxation and inner peace.

The surroundings of the Silbersee invite you to take long walks and hikes, where you can discover the diverse flora and fauna of the Rhön. The lake itself is a habitat for many water birds and offers nature lovers the opportunity to observe rare species in their natural habitat.

Not only the nature but also the history of the lake makes it a fascinating destination. Visitors have the opportunity to learn more about the former basalt mining and see how nature has reclaimed a man-made place.
