Sights in the area1
Rhön Dark Sky Park
The Rhön is one of Germany's certified dark-sky parks, with little light pollution over the ridge. Public stargazing tours run on the Hohe Geba — the plan for cloudless nights.
Wasserkuppe
The highest peak in the Rhön, known as the cradle of gliding. Wind blows almost constantly up top; on clear days you look out over much of the range — a rewarding trip for fair weather.
Erfurt
Thuringia's capital, about 68 km away. A medieval old town with the cathedral and St. Severus church rising over the Domplatz. The rainy-day classic when fog sits over the Geba.
