On the nature trail through the moor – a two-kilometer-long boardwalk – you can discover rare animal and plant species. The Black Moor is the best-preserved and still-growing raised bog in Germany's low mountain ranges. The moor is located in the Rhön Biosphere Reserve, in the border triangle of Bavaria, Hesse, and Thuringia – a unique cultural landscape in the heart of Germany. The area offers a wealth of exciting outdoor excursions. You can find more information here: https://nationale-naturlandschaften.de/gebiete/biosphaerenreservat-rhoen.

A beautiful view of the Dammersfeldkuppe in the Wildflecken military training area. The Bundeswehr offers guided tours once a year. Highly recommended.
