Here, on the fourth highest mountain in the Rhön, the Hessian-Bavarian border runs... from here, if the weather is good, you can see the Lange Rhön. At the summit, there is a German Telekom transmission tower that can be seen from far away.

Around our beautiful Franconian villages there are not only many hiking trails but also many small details that make our homeland a lovely place to be and that awaken our longing for "home" when we are far away.
