Habelberg circuit - hike around the Habelberg with special vantage points on the Heufeld and the Habelstein.
The volcanic rock formation is particularly worth a visit - pure nature.

The route over the Habelberg is one of the most challenging but promising hikes around Tann. Over the rock massif on the Habelstein (680 m) with a wonderful view, it goes past the village of Habel over the Seeles and Kothenberg. On the descent to Neuswarts, you will be amply rewarded for the hardships of the ascent with fantastic views of the Hessisches Kegelspiel and further into the Werratal.
There are longer inclines and asphalt routes to be accepted.
Author’s recommendation
A short detour to the "Habelstein" vantage point should definitely be planned. Please note the signage on site.

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