프랑켄하임/론‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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.

One of the last raised bogs in Hesse. Peat mining was stopped here in 1986… Today, renaturation is the magic word

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

The Rote Moor is also located directly on the Hochrhön hiking trail. It's just as beautiful as the Black Moor, just different. In the Red Moor there is a Carpathian birch forest, which here has its westernmost extent in Central Europe. Absolutely worth seeing.

Definitely worth a visit/hike

And another stamp for the eager collectors... it's a shame that this only works on paper..😉

Unfortunately, the rote moor was largely removed from peat by the 1980s. Only 5 hectares of the raised bog remained, which, according to the information board, is not sufficient to regenerate on its own.

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