Extratour Kuppenweg - Geroda - Rhön
Through extensive spruce stands, repeatedly interspersed with old beeches, we reach the Karl-Straub-Haus in Würzburg. During our break we enjoy regional Rhön products. The panoramic view of the mountain tops of the Dammersfeldrhön makes the enjoyment perfect.
We continue down the valley through the unique landscape of the Schwarzen Berge to the source of the Thulba. How beautiful are these mountain meadows! Here we experience one of the most valuable habitats in the Rhön for many rare animal and plant species. At the end of the Extratour Kuppenweg we visit the nearby towns of Geroda and Platz.

Safety information
The tourist routes 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.
