On the 751m high Gebaplateau you can reach the skating trail with a total length of 2.7 km at the entrance to the Rhön Culture Garden in the winter months. It is a rolled track, which is ideal for hobby athletes with slopes and inclines. Located on the highest point of the Gebaplateau, you already have a unique panoramic view of the Rhön mountain ranges, with Kreuzberg, Heidelstein, Wasserkuppe, Ellenbogen and Weidberg when you enter the route. You skate along the lower lying coniferous trees covered with snow and enjoy the expanse of the plateau. When you arrive at the starting point, the Bergstübchen offers a place to stop for refreshments to recharge your batteries and start on one of the more demanding tours.
