    Tips

    June 21, 2020

    For astronomy enthusiasts, those interested in the firmament and romantics! ;) There are often such places in the Rhön - as part of the "Sternepark Rhön" project - especially where there is little or no nighttime light pollution and therefore the sky can be observed well. For example, above Wippershain. Here you can also see the ribbon of the Milky Way beautifully! Try that in Bad Hersfeld or Fulda ...
    The pole with the rings attached to another, inclined pole is used to find the polar star, among other things. for aligning brought telescopes that have a equatorial mount and - e.g. for astrophotography - motorized tracking. But, for alignment you don't really need this pole, but it is a nice tool for orienting what is offered there.

      A beautiful vantage point and resting point above Mansbach. The Werratal can be pleasantly showered from the rotating and swiveling wave lounger.
      In addition, there are information boards (constellations and positions) and equipment (for attaching binoculars, alignment points for sighting the pole star) directly at the rest area.
