Extratour Gebaweg - Rhönblick - Rhön

We start the Gebaweg at the Meiniger Hütte. Alternatively, entry is also possible at the Geba plateau or at the Bergstübchen. On the summit plateau of the Hohe Geba, the Rhönkulturgarten awaits us in addition to the fantastic panorama. Then we walk down to the so-called "village of fountains": Stepfershausen impresses with its 13 public and functional fountains. They all have their own name with a matching fountain saying. From here, small paths wind their way to Oberkatz. The village is picturesquely in the middle of the valley, protected by the surrounding mountains. At the foot of the mountains rises the Katza brook, which gave the village its name. We continue uphill to the Hohe Löhr rest area and walk along the Schäferweg. This themed trail explains everything about sheep farming and grazing. After that, typical Rhön, large-scale grasslands begin and we marvel at the next fabulous view over the Lange Rhön to Kreuzberg. This view is called Rhönfrieden and whoever is there understands exactly why. Those who have made inner peace with themselves and the world run on to the village of Geba. There is an octagonal mountain church here that should not be missed. Those who started from the Geba plateau hike back and are rewarded again with the great view.
