Guckaspass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Guckas Pass is located right on the edge of the UNESCO biosphere reserve Rhön core zone of the big and small Guckas. There are many old stands of beech trees, noble deciduous trees and wet forest habitats, in which an enormous variety of species can be found. Core zones are nature reserves of a special kind and there are strict path restrictions here. Hiking, mountain biking or cycling is only permitted on designated paths.
To protect the sensitive flora and fauna, please stick to this, stay on the designated paths and only ride your bike on official MTB trails or cycle paths!
Thanks very much! - Rhön biosphere reserve

Kreuzberg (Rhön)

Highlight • Summit

Directly below the Kreuzberg is a paid hiking parking lot. From there it is only about 400 meters to the Kreuzberg monastery. Via a steep staircase, you reach the Kreuzberg (928 m above sea level). On the way, you pass three oversized crosses that represent striking waypoints. A little further up, you finally reach the even larger summit cross of the mountain. The location is part of the Bischofsheimer Gipfel-Pass with stamp number 3 (directly next to the cross pedestal).

Kreuzberg Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

At the end of the tour, I advise everyone to stop by the monastery to enjoy a delicious meal with a large beer. You can also buy beer there to take home.
