Rhönwald Parking Area

🅿️ "Rhoenwald/Fourteen Saints". Great starting point for beautiful hikes. In winter when there is good snow, the 🅿️ is always filled quickly on weekends.

Vierzehnheiligen Pilgrimage Monument

Highlight • Monument

This is where the Rhönwald trail begins and ends near Frankenheim on the Hochrhön. Also ideal for a circular hike, as the plateau is almost flat and has varied forests.
