The Buch Schirmberg, with its majestic 745.2 meters, sits majestically in the Rhön east of Hilders. This mountain, hugged by the Rhön Biosphere Reserve and the Hessian Rhön Nature Park, is a true paradise for hikers and nature lovers.
At the summit of the Buch Schirmberg, visitors can expect a breathtaking view that extends far beyond the hilly landscape. On clear days, the Ulstertal, the Wasserkuppe, the Milseburg and even the Großer Feldberg in the Taunus can be seen. It is a panorama that makes every hiker's heart beat faster.
In addition to the observation tower, which captures the vastness of the country in a unique all-round view, there is also the Cross of the East, a striking landmark and a popular photo motif. A memorial stone of the Rhönklub, Hilder's branch, testifies to the deep connection people have with this landscape.
The climb to Buch Schirmberg may be steep, but it is rewarded with a peace and serenity that can only be found in the great outdoors. Once at the top, you feel like you are in another world, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Near the mountain are other attractions such as the Battenstein basalt rock group with a chapel, a holiday home settlement and various youth education and leisure centers. Winter sports enthusiasts also get their money's worth here, as the Rhönwaldloipe in the southeast beckons with its snow-covered paths.
The Buch Schirmberg is not only a hiking highlight, but also a place for reflection and relaxation. Here, where the sky seems to touch the earth, every visitor realizes that the true treasures of this world cannot be bought with money, but can be found in the incomparable beauty of nature.
