The Luitpoldpark exudes its special charm in the style of an English landscape garden and is home to a wide variety of tree species, some of them exotic. The chairs and benches spread across the meadows invite you to take a short break and consciously enjoy nature. We also recommend a stop in the barefoot labyrinth, sound garden, the Mediterranean Kneipp landscape or at the fitness station "Die fünf Kissinger" to stimulate your body and your senses.

In the rose garden you can stroll through a sea of roses around the multi-media Fountain that enchants with its harmonious music and water games.

Author’s recommendation

Close your eyes and stimulate your other senses, e.g. in the sound garden or in the barefoot maze of Luitpoldpark.

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.
