From the Thüringer Hütte, the path runs through open winter landscape in the direction of Schornhecke near the Hessian-Bavarian border and offers an impressive view over the snow-covered Long Rhön.

The Thüringer Hütte offers a stop for refreshment and warmth.

Author’s recommendation

The detour to the unusual St. Francis Chapel at the Thüringer Hütte is well worth it.

Safety information

There is a road crossing along the route.

The tourist paths of the Rhön are mostly used by other active people (hikers, mountain bikers, cyclists, walkers, horse riders, cross-country skiers, etc.).

We ask all active nature sports enthusiasts to show consideration for one another. Of course, the same applies to nature - it is worth protecting. In the Rhön, nature sports should therefore only be practiced in daylight on designated paths and areas.

Tips and hints

The snow hotline provides information about the winter conditions in the Rhön.
