Wasserkuppe
The Wasserkuppe is with 950 meters the highest mountain of Hessen and internationally known as the "mountain of gliders" for gliding and paragliding. The mountain in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön is an interesting holiday destination for young and old - in the middle of Germany, at any time of the year: the summer toboggan runs are not only popular with children. Other highlights are the hiking trails, the climbing forest, the gliding museum, the Radom on the summit, the aviation monument, the particularly clear starry sky and many other sights in the area such as the Red Moor, the baroque city of Fulda or the memorial site "Point Alpha" on the former inner-German border. In winter, snow-covered floodlit slopes, cross-country ski runs, sledge runs and the snowkite spot attract winter sports enthusiasts to the Wasserkuppe. Directly on the mountain there are restaurants, hotels and a holiday village.
