The stone shelter is strongly reminiscent of the Scottish models, the bothies. Inside you'll find shelter from the weather and even a wood-burning stove to warm you up or dry your stuff.

Boardwalk Rhönhut Moor

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In this section of the hiking trail through the “Rhönhut” nature reserve, a wooden boardwalk has been built over a long stretch. This makes it easy to cross the protected moor and large bodies of water with dry feet.

May 1, 2025,Rhöner Extratour: Fladunger Museumstour inkl. Schwarzes Moor
A very long but very rewarding tour with its panoramic views, which I extended with a detour through the Black Moor. The paths are all easily accessible, but you'll need plenty of stamina and plenty of fluids for the 23km in summer temperatures!

Before he dives back into the depths of Middle Franconia 😄, we actually did another tour together. The extra tour museum tour was on today. @ML Planned it slightly differently and I was glad I didn't have to worry about anything ☺️, just follow 😄. Started at 8 a.m. at the museum village in Fladungen. Up to the Sennhütte, coming …

Final hike of this year's summer vacation in the Rhön. 😥 In fairly damp and foggy weather this morning, we started in Fladungen on the Museumsweg extra tour together with @Astrid 🌍 (thanks for your company! It's always nice! 😊).
(At this point, a greeting and thanks for the inspiration to @Micha , who was here just a few days …

The Rhön hiking days conclude. Wonderful impressions of the "Far Distances," the landscape in its autumnal dress, and the distinctive features of the Kreuzberg, the Red and Black Moors, and especially the Green Belt, or rather the "Kolonnenweg" (colonial path) with its historical background of the division of Germany.

On Saturday, July 14, 2025, I set off early in the morning at 4 a.m. from Fladungen for a 24-km hike. The sunrise at Heimatblick was breathtaking, bathing the Rhön Mountains in a golden light. The tour then took me along the historic border path with fascinating information panels and a border tower before crossing the Black Moor via a …

A beautiful and eventful tour. The elevation gain towards Heimatblick was exhausting for me. But after that it worked and the remaining elevation gain was no longer a problem. Negative: While I was writing this text here at the museum station, a couple drove past the parking lot, threw out their rubbish and drove away. Impossible. With an advertisement for …

Today we chose the "Museum Tour" extra tour. However, we adapted the tour slightly. We started at the Black Moor and skipped Fladungen and its open-air museum. Instead, we visited the Black Moor at the end of the tour. Part of the trail is identical to the Peace Trail. Its information panels tell of events on the former inner-German border. …
