The hike then continues to a way of the cross with 14 stations and a chapel with a crucifixion group on the Battenstein (649 m above sea level). We climb the summit of the Buchschirmberg (746 m above sea level) via the Huteweiden landscape that is typical of the Rhön. What a view of the plateau areas of the Hochrhön, over the Ulstertal and the Kuppenrhön with the Milseburg!
The Rhönklubhütte Simmershausen with its rest area and idyllic ponds is ideal for a break. Freshly strengthened, we set course for the “Köpfchen” park and barbecue area on the saddle between Buchschirmberg and Auersberg.

Safety information
The touristic paths of the Rhön are mostly used by other active people (hikers, mountain bikers, cyclists, walkers, riders, cross-country skiers, etc.)We ask all active nature sports enthusiasts to show consideration for one another. The same applies of course to nature - it is worth protecting. In the Rhön, therefore, nature sports should only be practiced in daylight on designated paths and areas.
