ブルカルトロートの天然記念物・トップ20

Even the strongest hiker needs a break sometimes 😀

Recently, you can now also collect a stamp for the summit pass from the Bischofsheim Tourist Information Center at Himmeldunk (6 stamps must be collected within 10 days to receive a certificate).

An oversized summit cross that is quite impressive. From there I have a wonderful view over the Rhön. There is also a summit book where you can register. A really nice sunny spot to linger. One of the most beautiful hikes in the Rhön that I have ever done. It is worth it! I've been there several times now.

With a height of almost 888 meters, it not only offers impressive views, but also a home for rare and protected plants and animals. The Himmeldunkberg can be reached via three different hiking trails, with the route from the Schwedenschanze on the B 279 being the easiest. Alternatively, Oberweißenbrunn or Bischofsheim also offer good starting points with parking facilities. The hike through the varied mixed forests of the Himmeldunkberg is an experience in itself. The forests offer pleasant shade, especially on hot days. The Schwarzbach, which babbles over basalt blocks and becomes a small waterfall at the Teufelsmühle, adds a calming element to the hike. Information boards provide information about local legends and stories. Once at the summit, a beautiful panorama awaits hikers. From here you have a wonderful view over Bischofsheim and the picturesque Brendtal, the Gleichberge, the Oberes Sinntal and as far as the Schachen in the distance. Although the Himmeldunkberg is relatively unfrequented, you will find a community of nature lovers here - from hikers and mountain bikers to model airplane pilots. It is important to use the marked paths out of respect for nature and local regulations. The path to the Himmeldunkberg is not overly demanding, apart from the "Hohe Hölle", a steep and strenuous climb. This means that the hike is also suitable for older children. It is advisable to take enough water and provisions with you, as there are no places to stop for refreshments on the mountain itself, apart from the Würzburger Bergbund hut, which is only open on weekends. The hike can also be easily combined with a detour to the Basaltsee or a tour through the Rote Moor.

Newly erected summit cross on the Himmeldunk. At the cross there are rest benches and a list of donors who made the construction possible.
