We invite you to discover the magic of this forest on a 2-hour tour.
On the boards along the nature trail you can learn interesting facts about the trees and the geological background to the formation of the Rhön landscape.
Striking witnesses to volcanism in the Rhön are basalt blocks and basalt block fields.
Most impressive is the volcanic rock on the "Prism Wall" on the way to the summit. Here the basalt has solidified into prism columns.

You can strengthen yourself again at the entrance to the nature trail. Or seek shelter in the rain.

At this point "Age of the Trees" shows well (measuring rod) how fast the growth is.
