Geographically, Hohenroda is located on the edge of the Thuringian Forest and is surrounded by picturesque forests. The landscape here is breathtakingly beautiful and offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or skiing (in the winter months). The lakes in the region are a particular highlight: the Philippsthal reservoir with its impressive dam wall as well as the Schönsee lake offer recreation-seekers an idyllic ambience in which to relax.

Culturally, Hohenroda also has a lot to offer. Here you will find historic buildings such as Mansbach Castle or the ruins of Friedewald Castle. For art lovers, a visit to the Museum Modern Art in Bad Hersfeld or the art studio "Atelierhaus Kassel-Hessen" in Nentershausen is worthwhile.

But the region also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine. Be sure to try local specialities such as Rhön apple wine or hearty dishes made from regional ingredients.

There are also plenty of alternatives for rainy days: In Bad Hersfeld, the Kurhaus with its thermal baths invites you to relax, while you can experience exciting experiments at the "Explorata" Science Centre.

And now where is the most beautiful place? That's hard to say, because every corner of this region has its own charm. But if you love nature, you should definitely visit the lookout tower on the Hohe Meißner - from here you have a breathtaking view over the entire surrounding area.

Overall, Hohenroda, Hersfeld-Rotenburg is a destination that has something to offer for everyone. Whether you want to discover cultural highlights or simply relax in nature - this Travel Guide shows you the best tips and sights for your stay in the region!

    Als ich die Rhöner Extratour „Soisberg“ auf der Webseite der Rhön-Info entdeckte, habe ich noch gedacht, schon wieder eine neue Extratour und dann nur 7,1 km lang. Und dazu soll ich hin und zurück fast 140 km fahren. Na ja, wenn man sich vorgenommen hat alle 35 Rhöner Extratouren zu laufen, muss man auch mal in einen sauren Apfel beißen. Aber so im Nachhinein kann ich nur sagen, eine absolut geile Tour. Man läuft fast nur außen vor dem Wald, hat dadurch fast immer freie Sicht und der 360° Rundumblick vom Soisbergturm ist einfach nur toll. (Außer man ist nicht schwindelfrei oder es ist so windig wie bei uns. Da schwankt der Turm nämlich merklich) So einen tollen Blick aufs Hessische Kegelspiel mit Wissels-, Rückers-, Appels-, Stoppels-, Klein-, Mors-, Stall-, und Lichtberg hatte ich selbst bei der Extratour Hessisches Kegelspiel nicht. Und auf dem höchsten der neun, dem Soisberg, stehen wir ja gerade. Also, ich würde die Tour jedem, der gern in der Rhön wandert, inzwischen uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Und wegen der nur 7,1 km Streckenlänge. Ich habe einfach eine Schleife von gut 4 km über Mansbach und den Grasberg davor getackert und so die Tour auf knapp 12 km gepimpt.

    Ich bin nur die Teilstrecke von Fuldabrück bis nach Hann. Münden geradelt. In diesem Bereich ist es eine nette, flussnahe Strecke mit relativ wenig Gastronomie an der Strecke. Diese findet man jedoch ausreichend in Hann. Münden.

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.
