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.

The ascent alone is an adventure. It goes over stairs and rocks through a forest. Then over steps to the summit. From the top you have a breathtaking view of Kreuzberg and Heidelstein. And especially to the Wasserkuppe.

The memorial was erected on a volcanic chimney, which was formerly called Lerchen Hügel, later called "Loessl Steine". Carl Oskar Ursinus had designated this place for an annual commemoration, since Eugen von Loessl had started his last flight from here on August 9, 1920 during the first Rhön competition. On August 14, 1921, Wilhelm Leusch, the second person to die in gliding, also died at this point due to a surface failure due to a faulty design of his glider.

Nice path through the red moor. You can see the Heidelstein very nicely from the observation tower at the end
