Rundloipe Lange Rhön in Richtung Thüringer Hütte - Hausen - Rhön

We start our tour at the Rother Kuppe and take the path through snow-covered forest towards the Thüringer Hütte. Continuing uphill along open countryside we reach the Schornhecke, where in the distance Mount Heidelstein and the Wasserkuppe can be spotted. The path leads us further up to the Stirnberg, the highest point of the route. From there it goes slightly downhill to the border triangle at the Lange Rhön nature reserve. A breathtaking view of the landscape is offered over the largely free plateaux of the Rhön. The tour continues through winter forest on partly winding and steep sections through the Eisgraben natural forest reserve and past the legendary Frauenhöhle, a basalt natural cave, back to the starting point.

The trail is particularly suitable for experienced winter sports enthusiasts due to the winding section between the Dreiländereck and the Rother Kuppe. For safety reasons, please pay attention to the direction of travel on the on-site signs, especially on the Stirnberg.

With the Gasthaus Sennhütte, the kiosk on the Schwarzen Moor, the Thüringer Hütte and the Berggasthof Rother Kuppe, there are many places to stop for refreshments along the route.
