- 4.3 (5)·Moderate·2.4 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrInteresting loop in the Rhön biosphere reserve. A great hike through rustling forests, where a lot can be learned about forestry and real primeval forest. This is because there is no longer any forestry use in the natural forest reserve and the "Gangolfsberg" core zone is left entirely to its own devices. There is a car park at the starting point and a refreshment stop a little further on. Highlights: - Beautiful forests with old trees - Viewpoints
- Easy·2.2 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrPanoramic circular route around Oberelsbach, Bavaria.

There you have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains towering over the valley of the Els. At the highest point of the circular route you will be rewarded with an excellent view of Oberelsbach and the beautiful St. Kilian Church. Highlights: - outstanding views - St. Kilian...
- Easy·2.7 mi·Est. 1–1.5 hrFamily-friendly loop in the Rhön biosphere reserve. A great loop through beautiful mixed forest and especially beautiful for all those who love butterflies.

Several information boards provide information about the butterflies' way of life and their endangerment. The trail starts either at the parking lot a short distance east of Unterelsbach or at the "Am Schmetterlingslehrpfad"...
