Schmidt's Holiday Farm
An orchard meadow next to the horse paddock, the old courtyard behind it — a holiday farm in Ostheim vor der Rhön. In the mornings it smells of windfall fruit and horses, the fruit trees stand crooked and gnarled. The farm has retained its nostalgic character. The description reveals nothing more. The rest is Rhön: the Wasserkuppe as the highest mountain, on clear nights the dark sky of the starry sky park above the meadows. Würzburg is about seventy kilometers away.1

Sights in the area1
Wasserkuppe
At 950 metres the highest peak of the Rhön and the birthplace of gliding; on a good breeze the sailplanes circle over the summit dome. The go-to viewpoint for a clear day.
Rhön Dark Sky Reserve
The Rhön is a certified dark-sky park, one of the darkest corners of central Germany; on moonless nights the Milky Way stands over the hills. The plan for a cloudless evening.
Würzburg
The baroque city on the Main with its Residenz and the vineyards on the Stein, about 77 kilometres away; a day trip that pairs well with a wine tasting.
Ostheim Fortified Church
In the middle of the village stands one of Germany's largest fortified churches, a defensive ring of storehouses around the church. A short walk, good for a rainy afternoon.
