Safety information

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.

When you reach the Hilders district of Batten, turn left towards Hilders. Turn right at the traffic light and do not follow the main road that bends shortly after, but instead turn left into Marienstrasse.
