Rundwanderung: Kissinger Runde Bad Kissingen - Rhön
From here the tour leads through the pristine Klauswald with its cascade valley and the calming "forest for the soul". Past the Wichtelhöhlen - about 20 rock formations of different sizes and small caves made of red sandstone - you go to the golf club (Attention golf balls! Please ensure your own safety.). You can certainly watch some golfers teeing off here.
Pass the Eiringsburg ruins and continue to the Botenlauben ruins - the city's oldest landmark. From the two castle towers you can get a good idea of the former floor plan and the whole size of the castle.
Through the forests in the east of the city you will soon reach the mighty Bismarck tower before you arrive again at the graduation tower. Here your legs really deserve a cooling off in the Kneipp pool!

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.
