グローセル・アウアースベルクの峠・トップ5

It's quite steep here, especially from the Fulda direction. Those who dare can also take the main road.

The Guckapass - named after the nearby 750 meter high mountain "Kleiner Guckas" - is located at an altitude of about 630 meters. The climb with an average gradient of 8% is easy to manage. The ST2267 is well developed, there is some traffic, so some caution is required.

Here it is a short and sweet climb up to the Schwedenschanze on the Hessian-Bavarian border.

Beautiful, quiet section with, as in many places in the Rhön, great views and a pleasant, fairly even climb with little traffic.

Formerly a restaurant. Today it serves as a parking lot for nearby excursion destinations.

Unfortunately, the restaurant at Schwedenschanze is closed. But there are parking spaces and a bus stop here: a great starting point for hikes to Simmelsberg, Himmeldunk, Rockenstein,...

The buildings on the Schwedenschanze were once an inn with a hotel business. You can no longer stop here today. But the Schwedenschanze is still an interesting place. Here is the apex of the pass road between Gersfeld and Bischofsheim and thus also between the rivers Fulda and Brend (source very close). The Fulda flows over the Weser directly to the North Sea. The Brend takes the route via the Franconian Saale, Main and Rhine. Since the German-Austrian War of 1866, the border between Hesse and Bavaria has also run near the Schwedenschanze.
