      The Hart forest follows the valley of the Els, which accompanies the path to Unterelsbach. There are information boards on the local butterfly species along the way. On the unwooded ridge of the "Hundsrücken" with the small-scale cultural landscape of fields, meadows, fruit trees, hedges and copses you

    1. The circular route runs through three completely different nature reserves, each of which represents a very typical habitat for the Rhön. Starting from the near-natural deciduous forests on the Gangolfsberg, you hike to the floodplains of the Els with extensive meadows and finally reach the large areas

    1. Rich in geological sights, the nature trail on the Gangolfsberg offers a special insight into the history of the Rhön region. The highlights of the tour are the basalt prism wall and the legendary Teufelskeller - witnesses to volcanism in the Rhön. The remains of the Gangolf chapel on the summit of the

    1. On this demanding tour you will experience the Rhön in all its facets with beech forests, basalt boulders and mountain meadows. Small streams sometimes cross the paths and the basalt rock "Kalte Buche" invites you to linger with an impressive view. At the basalt lake, a former quarry that is now filled

    1. The circular hike is also known as the "Kleiner Elstalweg" and runs along the river Els.

      

      This easy-to-walk path runs on both sides of the Els, mostly on paved paths. Along the route there are beautiful views of the Gangolfsberg and the baroque church "St. Kilian" in Oberelsbach.

    1. The circular hiking trail starts in Oberelsbach and runs along the Heppberg.

      The hiking trail is particularly suitable for a short detour into the Oberelsbach nature. Past meadows, fields and numerous fruit trees, there is a gentle climb towards Heppberg. Meanwhile, the view goes to the top of the Gangolfsberg

    1. The hiking trail leads through mixed forests and calcareous pastures from Ginolfs to Oberelsbach and back again.

      

      On the Hüppberg, this hiking trail leads through a beautiful beech forest - flooded with light in spring and shady in summer. Lime grassland on the Dünsberg, gems for orchids and butterflies

    1. The certified extra tour promises premium hiking at its finest, leading us to the highlights of our cultural landscape, which is unique in Germany.

      Where do we start in the largest non-alpine nature reserve in Bavaria? Let's go z. B. at the Schornhecke hiking car parks. We meander through the nature reserve

    1. The natural forest reserve on the Gangolfsberg is also part of the core zone of the Rhön biosphere reserve. Here nature is left to itself. On the information boards along the nature trail, the trees are presented and you can also learn about the geological background to the formation of the Rhön landscape
