Sailplane Pilots Up Close The Mosenberg, a long, largely treeless basalt ridge, equally appreciated by sailplane pilots and hikers, is a wonderful local recreation area on the doorstep of Homberg. Together with the picturesque, winding old town of Homberg and the widely visible Homberg Castle ruins, it forms the cornerstones for a rewarding circular hike.
