Maps and trails
Geographically, Motten is located at the foot of the Bavarian Rhön Nature Park and surrounded by picturesque forests and hills. The landscape invites you to take long walks or hikes. It is particularly beautiful here in spring, when everything turns green, or in autumn, when the leaves turn colourful.

The region also has a lot to offer culturally: Saaleck Castle with its museum offers an insight into the history of the town as well as an impressive view of the valley of the Franconian Saale. The Kreuzberg monastery - famous for its beer and bratwursts - is also nearby.

There are also some culinary highlights: Be sure to try the Franconian Sauerbraten or enjoy a glass of wine from one of the many local wine taverns.

For outdoor enthusiasts, there are many opportunities for hiking, cycling or skiing (in winter). The Hochrhön long-distance hiking trail runs through the area and offers spectacular views of the surroundings. In summer, we also recommend a canoe trip on the Sinn River - a real highlight!

If the weather doesn't cooperate, you can take a detour to the indoor swimming pool or visit one of the museums, such as the "Alte Schule" local history museum in Rupboden.

Overall, Motten is definitely worth a trip and a real insider tip for anyone looking for relaxation away from the big tourist crowds. The place offers everything you need - from nature to culture to culinary delights. We hope that our travel guide was helpful for you and that you will have an unforgettable stay in Motten!

    Die Tour hat mir und meiner Frau gut gefallen. Sie war abwechslungsreich und hatte dank des Aussichtsturms auf der Mottener Haube einen hohen Erlebniswert. Auch schöne Singetrails waren für uns als Läufer ein Genuss. Eine Einkehrmöglichkeit haben wir auf dem Weg leider nicht gesehen. Die zweimalige Autobahnquerung war für uns ein kleiner Wermutstropfen. Aber bei 20km Strecke waren genug schöne, ruhige und idyllische Passagen dabei, die das ausgeglichen haben.
