This easy-to-walk path runs on both sides of the Els on mostly paved paths. Along the way there are beautiful views of the Gangolfsberg and the baroque church "St. Kilian" of Oberelsbach.
Author’s recommendation
You should definitely plan a visit to the "Haus der Langen Rhön" biospheric center with its interactive exhibition about the Rhön biosphere reserve.

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.
