Birx is located in the extreme tip of the Thuringian Rhön, framed by Hesse and Bavaria. Like Frankenheim, it used to be directly on the inner-German border and surrounded by the border installations. How nice it is now to be able to hike without limits in the Rhön.

Along the Peace Trail, just before Birx, there is the Peace Bench, which invites you to take a short rest.
