フランケンハイム/レンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

At 950 meters, the Wasserkuppe is the highest mountain in Hesse and the symbol of the Rhön Mountains. Up here, you can feel the freedom, as the Wasserkuppe is considered the cradle of gliding – pilots have been taking to the skies here for over 100 years. But it's not just aviators who enjoy it: In summer, you can hike or cycle across vast plateaus with magnificent views, while in winter, ski lifts, cross-country ski trails, and toboggan runs beckon. Around the summit, you'll find the Aviation Memorial, the Gliding Museum, and numerous places to stop for refreshments. The Wasserkuppe is located in the heart of the Hessian Rhön Nature Park, which, with its open highlands, beech forests, and species-rich meadows, is a paradise for nature lovers. Here, you can explore the unique landscape on premium hiking trails like the Hochrhöner or on nature trails. The nature park also boasts star parks, rare animals like the red kite and the wildcat, and botanical treasures like gentian and orchids.

Here, on the fourth highest mountain in the Rhön, the Hessian-Bavarian border runs... from here, if the weather is good, you can see the Lange Rhön. At the summit, there is a German Telekom transmission tower that can be seen from far away.

Beautiful monument on basalt… a great view in fine weather including.

Good opportunity to do something good on the round

The Heidelstein transmitter is located on the 926 m high Heidelstein in the Franconian part of the Rhön. It consists of a 218 meter high guyed tubular steel mast built by Deutsche Telekom AG in 1969, which carries antennas for radio relay and for broadcasting TV and VHF radio programs.

Breathtaking views. 🔭 Whether Kreuzberg, Arnsberg, Dammersfeldkuppe or Wasserkuppe. ⛰️ From up here you can simply enjoy the view.

Monument from another time. But it is impressively done, today it encourages climbing.

The Schafstein (831 m) has been a nature reserve since 1930 and is now the core zone of the Rhön biosphere reserve. The national geotope has the largest basalt block field in the Rhön. This impressive natural wonder can only be reached on foot. The views of Wüstensachsen and Reulbach with the Milseburg in the background are simply fascinating. Narrow paths lead on the circular route through an enchanting forest, some of whose beeches are over 150 years old.
