The Rhön offers a varied winter route network with different levels of difficulty. The trail leads past the rustic Thüringer Rhönhaus mountain hut. A stop is always worthwhile. Through the mystical forest area around the mountain Ellenbogen it goes on the trail.
Author’s recommendation
The viewing platform of Noah's Sails should definitely be walked on.
