UNESCO Rhön Biosphere Reserve
The stunning highland landscape of the Rhön Mountains lies at the heart of Germany: Hiking, cycling or skiing, finding out about species and nature conservation and enjoying regional products from partner businesses with the Rhön seal of quality.
Known as the "land of endless horizons", the natural paradise in the area where Bavaria, Hesse and Thuringia meet offers hikers and cyclists a variety of tours and premium hiking trails - they lead past orchards, pastures and leisurely grazing Rhön sheep. Gliding enthusiasts take off from the Wasserkuppe - Hessen's highest mountain and the cradle of gliding. Numerous spas invite you to relax and unwind. Stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts are also in the right place here: the Rhön Star Park offers perfect conditions for gazing into the depths of the universe.
