    Hiking

    Another special feature that can be discovered on a hike over the Hohe Hölle and Himmeldunkberg are old boundary stones that once marked the border between the Kingdom of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Prussia. More of these boundary stones can also be found when hiking from the Schwedenwall parking lot toward Rhönhäuschen and Heidelstein. (Rhöntourist info)
