Familienwanderweg Naturlehrpfad Ellenbogen - Oberweid - Rhön
Author’s recommendation
Safety information
The path is family-friendly, but in the last section it is not suitable for buggies due to the steep ascent to Noah's Segel next to cow pastures.But please keep your dog on a leash and your child by the hand!
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.
