Hiking

Pretty heavy climb, with Napoleon's rest area and above wonderful views of the high Rhön (Milseburg, Wasserkuppe, Heidelstein).

Hiking

The hiking trail between Schlüchtern and Wallroth leads past the junction to the Napoleon beech. Also today a rest area with a small pond and a beech tree that was newly planted in 1984. According to tradition, the Emperor of the French stopped here in 1813 on the way back from the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig to Paris.

The Napoleon's Beech is located in the immediate vicinity of the former ammunition bunkers on Landrücken. This location is excellently shielded and offers an extremely idyllic atmosphere with its small pond.
