Loop
Circular hike in the Hessian Rhön (from / to Findlos) with beautiful views of the region's valleys and the Wasserkuppe. Mostly on unpaved or gravel forest paths. The tour suggested here runs on sections of the Milseburgweg (Meiningen-Fulda) as well as on other, also marked trails. The Milseburg (835m) is a popular destination, especially in summer, with the majority of visitors driving to the foot of the mountain by car. In this respect, the hiking trails in the wider area are not overcrowded. You can also walk back from Milseburg on the way there, i.e. not as a round trip, or via the Wasserkuppe (approx. 10 km longer). Refreshments: Milseburghütte (open daily) or inns at the foot of the Milseburg and in Findlos (beer garden).
