Maps and trails
The Rhön has been a holiday region in Germany for many decades and is still an undiscovered country for many people. The best way to experience the landscape is on a hike. The marked network of hiking trails leads to sights that can only be reached on foot. You hike on narrow paths to mountain tops with impressive vantage points that give you a panoramic view over the Rhön. Perhaps you would also like to walk on plank paths through the moors or into a core zone of the UNESCO biosphere reserve? You can do it on the Rhön hiking trails.
The most beautiful circular hiking trails - on the way on the Extratours
A highlight of the Rhön hiking world are the Extratours - and not only because they lead to many peaks in this low mountain range. The Extratours are circular hiking trails on which you can easily get back to the starting point, as these have been well signposted by many volunteers and municipalities. The hiking trails are between 6.5 and over 20 km long and are therefore suitable for full-day or half-day tours. And because quality is also important to us when it comes to hiking, the Extratours are all certified and have been awarded the German hiking seal.
