Tips

Biosphärenreservat Rhön

Mountain biking

Absolute natural highlight in the middle of the biosphere reserve core zone and the Gangolfsberg nature reserve. To protect nature, mountain biking in the core zone and the nature reserve is only permitted on marked MTB/cycle paths. Unfortunately, mountain biking is not allowed on the paths to the basalt prism wall and the neighboring Teufelskeller.
Please stick to it out of consideration for hikers and nature! - Rhön biosphere reserve
